Présentation de l'éditeur

Lord CHXSTERFIELD having been univerfally allowed to be one of the beft bred men of the age, and moft intimately acquainted with the principles and manners of mankind, the Editor of the following pages humbly apprehends, he could not do the rifing generation a greater fervice, than by collecting thofe valuable precepts that are contained in his celebrated letters to his fon, digefting them under diftmft heads, and thereby forming a fyftem of the moft ufcful inftru ion. To that end, he has diligently felefted every obfervation and remark, that can poffibly improve or inform the mind, within the rules of morality ;and where there feemed a dertciency in any part of the fyftem, from the occafional chafms in Lord Chefterfield scorrefpondence, he has endeavoured to fupply it.
