Originally published in 1920 by our company founder Gordon Dorrance this reprint of The Pocket Chesterfield is his study to make the letters of Lord Chesterfield useful to every class of youth at the time.

The good Lord was born 1694, died 1773, and left an excellent reputation as wit, politician, letter-writer, gourmet, pamphleteer and practicing gentleman. As an orator, we hear, he was Petronius. His interests at an early age were gallantry and gaming, outwardly. As a Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, even then a parlous post, he had the friendship of tenantry; was usually a careless disinterested husband to his wife, the daughter of a king; throughout a good enemy of the Walpoles and not admired of Doctor Johnson; patron of literature, reformer of calendars.

A 1921 issue of a publication titled The Independent contains a review of the book, calling it a little volume of gentlemanly wisdom.

Dorrance describes the need for the book in the foreword:

Have you a shambling gait? Do you start, stammer, stutter? Does your blood need iron? Do you stumble upstairs, and fall down? Are you painfully veracious, silent, verboseacidly formal, cruelly frank? Do you lose your breath, glide on your dancing partners feet, mumble your words, fumble your food? Have you a cultivated taste? Does your heart stop beating? Do you tuck your napkin in your vest, do toothpicks no longer satisfy? Have you weak knees, jumpy nerves, acute awkwardness, palpitation of the heart, a sharp tongue, cold feet, a hot head, blushes? Would you like a feather in your cap? (Answer freely.) Do you yearn to talk about the lovely weather? Are you sour-tempered, old-fashioned, bashful, cross-eyed? Do you lack backbone and stiff upper lips, drop your rs, cross your is, dot your ts manhandle consonants and vowels? Does your wickedness terrify or your righteousness slayall them that do socially seek you? Do you always put your foot in it? Do you wish you had never been born, or opened your mouth? Can you get mad and not swear? Do you drop knives, money, teeth, serviettes, hints? Are you a boreboorboar?

If so, you need Lord Chesterfield. He should be taken on arising, before-and-after meals and in the evenings. Ladies and Gentlemen! and you, sad friend or rich relation Lord Chesterfield!

False advertisement of Real Batana oil 😡
Color: A, Color: A
This product is NOT real Batana oil , it smells like a hair relaxer it’s more of a Clay formula which Batan oil is more of a thicker formulaI. I don’t recommend the purchase of this product .This is what the product looks like after allowing it to sit in the microwave, it did not melt into an oil. This is the result of what it looks like after removing it from the microwave in picture number two.

THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!!!
First of all - RUN, DON’T Walk & get this. IT WORKS!!! I kid you NOT, that I can literally feel sprouts of hair growing out of the roots of my head! After washing my hair And drying it, I part my hair into several sections and gently massage it into my scalp. After at least a day or so, I can feel the tickle in my scalp, it feels like grass slowly growing. I have plenty of hair, but I would love to actually see this product used on someone who doesn’t have hair like me. I am using the product because of a thinning spot that I have from a sew-in that I have had multiple times, and getting it parted in the same area for over a period of time. You can Not beat this product, especially for the price.

Don't not purchase!!!!
Color: A
This is product has over ingredients, its made in China and the shelf life is 3 years! No naturall product has a shelf life of a 3 years or any storing instructions. Just an FYI when buying any product, the ingredient that's the most in the product is the first on this list of ingredients WATER is the first, Batana Oil is second to the last. the packaging say 100%, 100% what? Its truely not Batana Oil. I am sending this back ASAP and working on my own mix for my hair growth. I am dealing with scared alopecia and have been searching for things to help with my hair growth. I am tried of companies thinking they will take my money. I was not able to see the ingredients until I recieved the package, which is not a terriable way to sell a product.

We love this stuff
Color: A, Color: A
My baby had an infection in his hair that he got once he started daycare. We tried everything to kill the fungus. It got so bad I had to take him to the doctor and they finally gave him some antibiotics and medicated shampoo. His head was so sore and tinder he didn’t want anyone to touch his head. So imagine trying to wash his hair everyday. The shampoo killed the fugus and took his hair out where it was. I purchased this product. IT REALLY WORKS!!!!!! We’ve been using it a few weeks and we definitely see a difference. P.S I went and purchased the whole set
