Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation is a book written by the first President of the United States, George Washington. The book was originally written in 1745, when Washington was just 14 years old, and it contains a set of 110 rules that Washington believed were essential for polite and respectful behavior in social situations.The book was first published in 1888, and it has since become a classic text on etiquette and manners. The rules cover a wide range of topics, including how to address people, how to behave at the dinner table, how to show respect to elders and superiors, and how to handle disagreements and conflicts.The rules are written in a formal and elegant style, reflecting the manners and customs of the time in which they were written. However, many of the rules are still relevant and applicable today, and the book has been praised for its timeless wisdom and practical advice.Overall, Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation is a fascinating glimpse into the social norms and customs of 18th-century America, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in etiquette, manners, and social behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
