by Earl of Chesterfield

Overview

According to Wikipedia: "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 favourite minister, procured for him the place of gentleman of the bedchamber to the Prince of Wales."
