Lord Chesterfield and His WorldLittle, Brown, 1951 - 456 páginas "Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield PC KG (22 September 1694? 24 March 1773) was a British statesman and man of letters. He was born in London and was known as Lord Stanhope until his father's death in 1726. After being educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, he went on the Grand Tour of the continent. The death of Anne and the accession of George I opened up a career for him and brought him back to England. His relative James Stanhope, the king's favourite minister, procured for him the place of gentleman of the bedchamber to the Prince of Wales. He was a Whig."--Wikipedia. |
