Philip Stanhope by Roubiliac, 1745, Victoria and Albert Museum. Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, KG, PC (22 September 1694 – 24 March 1773) was a British statesman, diplomat, man of letters, and an acclaimed wit of his time.
Philip Stanhope, 4th earl of Chesterfield (born September 22, 1694, London, England—died March 24, 1773, London) was a British statesman, diplomat, and wit, chiefly remembered as the author of Letters to His Son and Letters to His Godson —guides to manners, the art of pleasing, and the art of worldly success.
When Philip Stanhope was born in 1584, in Shelford, Nottinghamshire, England, his father, John Stanhope Baronet, was 26 and his mother, Cordelia Allington, was 22. He married Katherine Hastings in 1605, in Berwickshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. They were the parents of at least 13 sons and 2 daughters.
He is chiefly remembered for his ‘Letters’ to his natural son Philip Stanhope (1732–68), which were written (not for publication) almost daily from 1737 onwards. These consist largely of instruction in etiquette and the worldly arts, and became after publication (by the son's widow in 1774) a handbook of good manners.
