Get a Free Copy of “Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior” by George Washington:
Deep in an inner labyrinth of the Library of Congress, on an ordinary-looking metal shelf, sits a slim, tattered paper notebook. It is stained and spotted with age, and its outermost pages appear to have been partly chewed away by rodents, or perhaps wadded up into spitballs by the teenage schoolboy who kept it, long ago.
But this unprepossessing volume is one of the national library’s greatest treasures — for that schoolboy was, of course, none other than George Washington, aged about fifteen. Along with two similar notebooks of geometry lessons, it is one of the very few documents to survive from his childhood and adolescence.
Its last ten pages are filled with the Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior in Company & Conversation reprinted here, which have fascinated our first president’s biographers for nearly two centuries.

Enjoying the Federalist Papers publications. Particularly I like the insights into the founding fathers their words and their views.
Federalist papers should give a new meaning for those that rebuke our second amendment rights!! And The meaning of seperation of church and state!!
Thanks.
You’re welcome!

Thanks, I appreciate your support!
I want to learn all I can.
Thanks for posting these interesting insights into our Founding Fathers.
I was waiting for this to be posted, knew it was just a matter of time, and you did not disappoint. I’ve seen the volume at various tourist locations here in historic Boston. A quick and cursory read at that time left quite an impression on me, and I regretted not having purchased it. Thanks for the valuable service you provide.
