In total, more than 420 letters of the English politician Philip Chesterfield (1694-1773) have been preserved; 89 letters to his son were selected for this publication; 4 more letters to other persons were placed, as well as "Maxims" and "Characters." "Letters to the son" of the English writer, publicist, moral philosopher, historian Philip Dormer Stenhop, Earl of Chesterfield, Voltaire called the book very instructive, the best ever written about upbringing. We are struck by a lot in these letters from the point of view of readers of a different environment and era, but we are well aware that this book is outstanding and that it gets timeless interestingly because it is an excellent depiction of the era with which it is generated.
