Juſt Publiſhed,

Dedicated to the Right Honourable Philip Earl of CHESTERFIELD.
Correctly printed in a neat Pocket Volume
(Price Bound Three Shillings,)
The Second Edition of

Les Moeurs; or, Manners. Accurately Tranſlated from the French. Wherein the Principles of Morality, or Social Duties, viz., Piety, Wiſdom, Prudence, Fortitude, Juſtice, Temperance, Love, Friendſhip, Humanity, &c. &c. are deſcribed in all their Branches; the Obligations of them ſhewn to conſiſt in our Nature, and the Enlargement of them ſtrongly enforced. Here Parents are taught, that, giving Birth to a Child, ſcarcely entitles them to that honourable Name, without a ſtrict Diſcharge of Parental Duties; the Friend will find, there are a thouſand other Decorums, beſides the doing of a Favour, to entitle him to the tender Name of Friend; and the Good-natur’d Man will find, he ought to extend that Quality beyond the Bounds of his own Neighbourhood or Party.

The Whole wrote in a manner entirely New and Entertaining, and enlivened with real Characters, drawn from life, and fited to inſtill the Principles of all Social Virtues into tender Minds.

Printed for W. Johnſton at the Golden-Ball in St. Paul’s Church-Yard.
