Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773), British Statesman, man of letters. The following quote is taken from a letter to his son, 5th September 1748:
`Women are only children of a larger growth.... A man of sense only trifles with them, plays with them, humours and flatters them, as he does with a sprightly and forward child; but he neither consults them about, nor trusts them with, serious matters.'
Bone Idle
