Nice edition of the letters of Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield [ 1694 - 1773 ] including his famous 'Letters to his Son, on Education'. These Letters were written to Stanhope's illegitimate son Philip Stanhope [ 1732 - 1768 ], as part of his father's earnest education of his son. 'They constitute one of the heaviest intellectual bombardments ever attempted' [DNB]. Much has been speculated on the expectations Stanhope had for his son & the grief he felt at Philip's early death - 'Philip Stanhope became a man of deep learning and sound sense ; but utterly wanting in what his father so highly prized - the graces' [preface]. The books also contain the more restrained 'Letters to his Godson'. 3750 grams.
