Reflections Critical And Moral On The Letters Of The Late Earl Of Chesterfield is a book written by Thomas Hunter in 1780. The book is a critical analysis of the letters written by the late Earl of Chesterfield, Philip Dormer Stanhope, to his son. The letters were written between 1737 and 1768 and were intended to provide guidance to his son on how to be a successful and respected member of society.Hunter's book is divided into two parts: the critical and the moral reflections. In the critical reflections, Hunter examines the literary style and content of Chesterfield's letters. He praises Chesterfield's wit and elegance of expression but also criticizes his lack of sincerity and moral values. Hunter argues that Chesterfield's letters are more concerned with appearances and social status than with genuine human relationships.In the moral reflections, Hunter takes a more philosophical approach, exploring the ethical and moral implications of Chesterfield's advice to his son. He argues that Chesterfield's focus on external appearances and social success is ultimately shallow and empty. Hunter calls for a more authentic and meaningful approach to life, based on genuine human connections and moral values.Overall, Reflections Critical And Moral On The Letters Of The Late Earl Of Chesterfield is a thought-provoking analysis of one of the most famous works of advice literature in English literature. It raises important questions about the nature of success, the role of social conventions, and the importance of moral values in human life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
