Rules of civility

Book • 1890

George Washington

This book contains a list of 110 rules that George Washington copied from a French etiquette manual written by Jesuits in 1595.

The rules, translated into English by Francis Hawkins in 1640, cover various aspects of social behavior, including respect for others, proper conduct in company, and general courtesies.

These rules were influential in shaping Washington's character and behavior throughout his life, and they remain relevant today as a guide to respectful and considerate behavior.
