George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior

George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior

By George Washington Etiquette 16/04/2013

Taking his inspiration from a 16th century French manual on etiquette, young George Washington compiled his own set of instructions under the title, The Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior.

Neither unduly severe nor sentimental, the rules have stood the test of time and still reverberate today.
