Lord Chesterfield gave advice to his
son in sundry letters, which might or
might not be followed, but in his will
he took good care that "my godson,
Philip Stanhope," should have strong

least one point. All the requests are
subject to the condition that If Philip
should keep race horses or hounds or
stay one night at Newmarket, that in
famous seminary Of iniquity and Ill
manners" during the course Of the
races there, or should lose on any one
day by betting or gaming as much as
f5OO, then in such case he shall forfeit
$4,000 to the dean and chapter OF
Westminster for every such offense.-
