Originally published in 1920 by our company founder Gordon Dorrance this reprint of The Pocket Chesterfield is his study to make the letters of Lord Chesterfield useful to every class of youth at the time.

The good Lord was born 1694, died 1773, and left an excellent reputation as wit, politician, letter-writer, gourmet, pamphleteer and practicing gentleman. As an orator, we hear, he was Petronius. His interests at an early age were gallantry and gaming, outwardly. As a Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, even then a parlous post, he had the friendship of tenantry; was usually a careless disinterested husband to his wife, the daughter of a king; throughout a good enemy of the Walpoles and not admired of Doctor Johnson; patron of literature, reformer of calendars.

A 1921 issue of a publication titled The Independent contains a review of the book, calling it a little volume of gentlemanly wisdom.

Dorrance describes the need for the book in the foreword:

Have you a shambling gait? Do you start, stammer, stutter? Does your blood need iron? Do you stumble upstairs, and fall down? Are you painfully veracious, silent, verboseacidly formal, cruelly frank? Do you lose your breath, glide on your dancing partners feet, mumble your words, fumble your food? Have you a cultivated taste? Does your heart stop beating? Do you tuck your napkin in your vest, do toothpicks no longer satisfy? Have you weak knees, jumpy nerves, acute awkwardness, palpitation of the heart, a sharp tongue, cold feet, a hot head, blushes? Would you like a feather in your cap? (Answer freely.) Do you yearn to talk about the lovely weather? Are you sour-tempered, old-fashioned, bashful, cross-eyed? Do you lack backbone and stiff upper lips, drop your rs, cross your is, dot your ts manhandle consonants and vowels? Does your wickedness terrify or your righteousness slayall them that do socially seek you? Do you always put your foot in it? Do you wish you had never been born, or opened your mouth? Can you get mad and not swear? Do you drop knives, money, teeth, serviettes, hints? Are you a boreboorboar?

If so, you need Lord Chesterfield. He should be taken on arising, before-and-after meals and in the evenings. Ladies and Gentlemen! and you, sad friend or rich relation Lord Chesterfield!

Nice & comfortable
Size: XX-Large, Color: Grey Heather, Size: XX-Large, Color: Grey Heather
This is a nice & comfortable sweat shirt. I wear a 2X and this fits me comfortably. The stitching is right on as there are no loose threads anywhere on the shirt. This shirt is medium thickness & has a little bit of stretch to it, which is all one needs. From underwear to sweatshirts FOTL has does a great job once again. For the price paid you are getting a great value for your money.

Nice fit and warm, but bad material.
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black
Not good material, now it looks like having four or five years of use and is not 1 year old.

Meets the demands.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black Heather Pullover
Good quality and soft. Not to thick and breathable. Comfortable for all day use. Pilling is an issue inside after a few washes. Great value for a hoodie. Size is good but will shrink after a couple washes. Not to warm.

Excellent quality, thick, warm and comfortable!
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Duffle Bag Green
I bought this sweat shirt for my husband, and had to buy him another because I love it so much!! My children have tried to take it from me several times. It is so soft, super thick, and warm. I love the fit, it is a little baggie just how I like them. The quality is great for the money, at this price sweat shirts are usually see through and bad quality but NOT this one!!!!

A sweater is the ultimate clothing item for staying warm and cozy. Whether it's a chilly winter day or a cool summer evening, a sweater is there to provide comfort and protection. Its soft and knitted fabric feels gentle against the skin, making it a pleasure to wear. One of the greatest advantages of a sweater is its versatility. It can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. Pair it with jeans for a casual look, or wear it over a dress for a more elegant ensemble. With so many colors, patterns, and styles to choose from, there's a sweater for every taste and preference. Not only does a sweater keep you warm, but it also adds a touch of style to your outfit. From chunky cable-knit sweaters to sleek and form-fitting designs, there's a wide range of options to suit any fashion sense. Sweaters can be accessorized with scarves, hats, and jewelry to create a unique and personalized look. Another benefit of a sweater is its durability. Well-made sweaters are built to last, making them a wise investment in your wardrobe. With proper care, a sweater can withstand years of wear and still maintain its shape and quality. In addition to its practicality and style, a sweater also holds sentimental value. It can remind us of cherished memories, like cozy evenings by the fireplace or family gatherings during the holidays. Wearing a favorite sweater can evoke feelings of comfort, nostalgia, and a sense of belonging. In conclusion, a sweater is the optimal choice for both fashion and function. It keeps us warm, adds a stylish touch to our outfits, and holds sentimental value. So, next time you're getting dressed, don't forget to reach for that trusty sweater! Stay cozy, my friend! 😊🧥
