From Father to Son

The hilarious Machiavellian advice of Lord Chesterfield to his son on the relationship of the sexes edited by Stephen Bayley. Lord Chesterfield wrote almost daily to his illegimate son, Philip, from 1737 onwards, providing him with candid instruction on etiquette. Not originally intended for publication, the correspondence provides a truthful but savage look at the relationship between the sexes.
