Lord Chesterfield’s letters are world-famous, originally written in the 18th century as a guide for his son on how to navigate high society with "the manners of a courtier and the spirit of a man of business".
Written over several decades, these letters were never intended for publication. They provide a fascinating, witty, and sometimes controversial look at the education of an 18th-century gentleman, covering everything from etiquette and dress to politics and the art of persuasion.
