Chesterfield’s Letters (1893)

Chesterfield's Letters is a collection of letters written by Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield. The letters were written between 1737 and 1768 and were addressed to his son, also named Philip, who was studying abroad in Europe. The letters cover a wide range of topics including politics, literature, and social etiquette. Chesterfield's advice to his son is often practical and focused on helping him navigate the social and political landscape of the time. The book was first published in 1774 and has since become a classic of English literature. This edition, published in 1893 by Ginn, features an introduction by Edwin Ginn, an American publisher and philanthropist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
