A treatise on etiquette, learning and good conduct

I have read this book during my college days and somehow misplaced it.Finally, my nephew purchased this book from U.S.A and presented it to me. What is most striking in this book is the candid manner in which a father tries to explain to his son the rules for an orderly conduct of life and the joy of learning new languages. Lord Chesterfield also impressed upon his son the profit from travel. The advise on social relationship and a well conducted social life has also been taught in a telling manner. This book should definitely find a place in the library of every home-- whether ther is a Phillip or not at home. The book I believe will be a very useful companion for an adolescent and a major alike in that it encapsulates the directions and sound advice on how to present oneself in public and social gathering.
