Timeless Rules of Civility and Decency from America's Founding Father

Copied out by hand as a young man, George Washington's 110 rules of civility and decency in company and conversation were based on rules composed by French Jesuits in 1595 and later first published in English in 1640. Washington wrote out simplified versions of these rules as a personal guide to live by, and kept them by his side throughout his incredible life. Subjects include self-respect, how to dress in public, how to address one's superiors, eating, walking, respect for others, and many more details of etiquette. As comity continues to face societal challenges, Washington's rules remain essential for keeping the American republic decent and civil.
