Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Chesterfield, Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th earl of (b. Sept. 22, 1694, Londond. March 24, 1773, London), 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. After a short period of study at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, he spent some time abroad, mainly in Paris. He was a great admirer of French manners, culture, and taste. He succeeded to the earldom in 1726 and became ambassador to Holland in 1728. His illegitimate son, Philip Stanhope, the recipient of the letters, was born there in 1732. Returning to England in the same year, Chesterfield took up a parliamentary career for the next decade as a strong opponent of Sir Robert Walpole. In spite of his connection by marriage to the king, he lost favour at court until he demonstrated his abilities as a statesman in his short term (August 1745-April 1746) as lord lieutenant of Ireland. After a term as secretary of state (1746-48), he gradually retired from public life because of increasing deafness. Chesterfield's winning manners, urbanity, and wit were praised by many of his leading contemporaries, and he was on familiar terms with Pope, Swift, and Voltaire. He was the patron of many struggling authors but had unfortunate relations with one of them, Samuel

Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield PC KG (22 September 1694 – 24 March 1773) was a British statesman and man of letters. A Whig, Lord Stanhope , as he was known until his father's death in 1726, was born in London, and educated at Cambridge and then 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 favorite minister, procured for him the place of gentleman of the bedchamber to the Prince of Wales. Career in parliament In 1715 he entered the House of Commons as Lord Stanhope of Shelford and member for St Germans, and when the impeachment of the Duke of Ormonde came before the House, he used the occasion (5 August 1715) to put to proof his old rhetorical studies. In 1726 his father died, and Lord Stanhope became Earl of Chesterfield. He took his seat in the House of Lords, and his oratory, which had been ineffective in the Commons, was suddenly appreciated. In 1728 Chesterfield was sent to the Hague as ambassador. His tact and temper, his dexterity and discrimination, enabled him to do good service, and he was rewarded with Robert Walpole's friendship, the Order of the Garter, and the position of Lord Steward. In 1732 there was born to him, by a certain Mlle du Bouchet, the son, Philip Stanhope, for whose advice and instruction at Westminster School were afterwards written the famous

Lord Chesterfield Philip Dormer Stanhope 4 th Earl (1694-1773) Lord of the Bedchamber to the Prince of Wales and continued in this position when the Prince became King George II. In 1722 he became M.P. for Lostwithiel until, in 1723, he lost his seat on accepting office. From 1728 until 1732 as Ambassador in The Hague, he distinguished himself by the magnificence of his entertainments. On 18 June 1730 he was installed as a Knight of The Garter . From 1730 till 1733 he was Lord Steward of the Household . From this time onwards he was a steady opponent of Walpole's ministry and, as a result, was excluded from office till 1744. His dismissal from Court in 1733 was said not to have been his opposing Walpole but of having offended the Queen by paying court to Lady Suffolk, the King's mistress. Also in 1733 he married Melusina de Schulenberg, Countess of Walsingham, illegitimate daughter of King George I. He was about thirty-nine and she forty and no children were born from this union. From January 1744 till October 1746 he was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, then from October 1746 till February 1748 Secretary of State (North). He is the well-known author of the " Chesterfield's Letters " which were written to his illegitimate son.

Lilly Library Manuscript Collections Lilly Library Home Manuscript Collections Ask a Question CHESTERFIELD MSS. The Chesterfield mss., 1740-1777, are letters and papers of Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th earl of Chesterfield, 1694- 1773, statesman, and his godson, Philip Stanhope, 5th earl of Chesterfield, 1755-1815, master of the horse. They are bound in three volumes. In the first two volumes are letters to the godson who was very young when the first messages were addressed to him. They contain excellent advice and were written when Chesterfield was no longer active in politics, and infirmities prevented him from participating in the society he loved best. He endeavored to give his godson the training which would make him a courtly, accomplished man of the world. Sixteen of the letters were dictated, but all were signed or initialed by Chesterfield. The amanuensis was James Walsh, Chesterfield's valet de chambre. In six letters, Aug. 20, Sept. 3, Oct. 13, Nov. 20, 1772, Feb. 19, and Mar. 7, 1773, on the second or third page is a postscript signed by Walsh, in the same handwriting as the dictated letters. A seventh letter by Walsh, Dec. 22, 1772, is on a separate sheet of paper. There is also "An Account of the journey from Bretby to London, November the 8th, 1708," by an unidentified person.
