Principles of politeness, and of knowing the world

Philip Dormer Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield and John Gregory

Lord Chesterfield wrote his son the most famous worldly advice in English, and this volume distills it into principles: modesty, good breeding, genteel carriage, cleanliness of person, dress and elegance of expression, with a firm word against lying. The celebrated counsel arranged for readers who want the wisdom without the whole correspondence. Polish, from the master of it.

Includes read-aloud narration with live word highlighting.
