Practical Morality, or a Guide to Men and Manners

Excerpt from Practical Morality, or a Guide to Men and Manners: Consisting of Lord Chesterfield's Advice to His Son That nothing might be wanting to render the fol lowing work_ complete, the Precepts of Lord Burgh ley to his Son are added, as highly estimable on the subjects of manners and education. The most'oro dinary sentiments of so dignified a character as qulre weight; but when 'a series of well-digested precepts, the result of great ltnpwledge and exten sive experience, are delivered for the guidance of a son in the momentous concerns of life and happi ness, the preceptor claims our esteem, and his Opinions our reverence.
