Not originally intended for publication, the celebrated and controversial correspondences between Lord Chesterfield and his son Philip, dating from 1737, were praised in their day as a complete manual of education, and despised by Samuel Johnson for teaching "the morals of a whore and the manners of a dancing-master." Reflecting the political craft of a leading statesman and the urbane wit of a man who associated with Pope, Addison, and Swift, Lord Chesterfield's Letters reveal the author's political cynicism, his views on good breeding, and instruction to his son in etiquette and the worldly arts. The only annotated selection of this breadth available in paperback, these entertaining letters illuminate the fascinating aspects of eighteenth-century life and manners.

Fewer stickers please!
Format: Paperback
Like New book was exactly that for the insides. Unfortunately there were many USED stickers on the cover. A hair dryer and alcohol swab got most of it but my cover still is “sticky”.

A life-changing book!
Format: Kindle
A life-changing look at the future of the church. Radical way to look toat Christian nationalism as a way to counteract the comfort in which our faith is marginalized and made a mascot or patron of what the forces of vain triumphalism put forth instead of the Beatitudes .
