Excerpt from Worldly Wisdom: Being Extracts From the Letters of the Earl of Chesterfield to His Son

The portion of his writings that held place the longest were the letters to his son. Of these Doctor Samuel johnson said that if certain objectionable features could be left out, he would wish to see them in the hands of every young man. It hardly needs being said that the Doctor's prescriptions have been followed in these selections.
