Synopsis

Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation is a book that was originally written by George Washington in 1745 when he was just 14 years old. The book is a collection of 110 rules of etiquette and manners that were considered important in the 18th century. These rules cover a wide range of topics, including how to behave in public, how to treat others with respect, and how to conduct oneself in a polite and courteous manner.The book was first published in 1888, more than 100 years after it was written, and has since become a classic work on the subject of etiquette and manners. The rules in the book are written in a formal and archaic style, but they are still relevant today and offer valuable insights into how to behave in social situations.Some of the rules in the book include: - ""Every action done in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present."" - ""In the presence of others, sing not to yourself with a humming noise, nor drum with your fingers or feet."" - ""When you meet with one of greater quality than yourself, stop and retire, especially if it be at a door or any straight place, to give way for him to pass."" - ""In writing or speaking, give to every person his due title according to his degree and the custom of the place.""Overall, Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation is a fascinating look at the social norms of the 18th century and a valuable guide to etiquette and manners that is still relevant today.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1888 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
