[Sidenote: Hayward's _Lord Chesterfield_. *] "The name of Chesterfield has become a synonym for good breeding and politeness. FROM HEYWARD'S LORD CHESTERFIELD ASTORISK THE NAME OF CHESTERFIELD HAS BECOME A SYNONYM FOR GOOD BREEDING AND POLITENESS
I see thee stare. ‘Approche nere, and loke up merily. Now ware you, sires, and let this man have place. He in the waste is shapen as wel as I: This were a popet,[3] in an arme to enbrace For any woman, smal and faire of face. He semeth elvish[4] by his contenance, For unto no wight doth he daliance.’” PHILIP, LORD CHESTERFIELD 1694-1773 [Sidenote: _Life and Letters of Lord Chesterfield._] “Philip Dormer Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield, was a slight-made man, of the middle size; rather genteel than handsome either in face or person: but there was a certain suavity in his countenance, which, accompanied with a polite address and pleasing elocution, obtained him in a wonderful degree the admiration of both sexes, and made his suit irresistible with either. He was naturally possessed of a fine sensibility; but by a habit of mastering his passions and disguising his feelings, he at length arrived at the appearance of the most perfect Stoicism: nothing surprised, alarmed, or discomposed him.”  SECTION TWENTY TWO OF WORD PORTRAITS OF FAMOUS WRITERS THIS IS A LIBER VOX RECORDING ALL LIBERVOX RECORDINGS ARE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO VOLUNTEER PLEASE VISIT LIBERVOX DORT ORG RECORDING BY DAL POOLY WORD PORTRAITS OF FAMOUS WRITERS EDITED BY MABEL E WOTTON PHILIP LORD CHESTERFIELD SIXTEEN NINETY FOUR SEVENTEEN SEVENTY THREE FROM LIFE AND LETTERS OF LORD CHESTERFIELD PHILIP DORMER STANHOPE EARL OF CHESTERFIELD WAS A SLIGHT MADE MAN OF THE MIDDLE SIZE RATHER GENTEEL THAN HANDSOME EITHER IN FACE OR PERSON BUT THERE WAS A CERTAIN SUAVITY IN HIS COUNTENANCE WHICH ACCOMPANIED WITH A POLITE ADDRESS AND PLEASING ELOCUTION OBTAINED HIM IN A WONDERFUL DEGREE THE ADMIRATION OF BOTH SEXES AND MADE HIS SUIT IRRESISTIBLE WITH EITHER HE WAS NATURALLY POSSESSED OF A FINE SENSIBILITY BUT BY A HABIT OF MASTERING HIS PASSIONS AND DISGUISING HIS FEELINGS HE AT LENGTH ARRIVED AT THE APPEARANCE OF THE MOST PERFECT STOICISM NOTHING SURPRISED ALARMED OR DISCOMPOSED HIM
