| description = '''Lessons for Sensible Living IV: Cities and How to Survive Them''' is a common [[Books|Book]]. It's a summary of a book on how to "''survive''" city life, and is written by Harrington Nethalin.

| quote = A slim, cheaple constructed book. The front cover is decorated with an engraving of a grimacing man, smoking a clay pipe.

I. On Not Going to Cities. The simplest piece of advice for Sensible Folk is to avoid cities entirely.

II. On Marketplaces. People often tell me - 'Harrington, my fleeces and turnips are worth more in a city market than at the local village fayre.' Fools. To them I say, your fleeces and turnips will be robbed long before you reach the market square, and you will have only a few lumps and bruises to take home.  

III. On Taverns. All Sensible Folk enjoy draining a mug of locally produced ale in the company of their friends, but some of you may have heard tell of the extravagant taverns that populate the cities of the Sword Coast. If bawdy names like The Blushing Mermaid and The Wizard's Stave were not sufficient warning of their impropriety, let it be known that you will be robbed long before you finish your first tankard, and will have only a few lumps and bruises for company.
