Book Description
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. These concise rules to live by have been studied and copied by millions of readers eager to absorb Washington’s secrets of success in life and work. Neither unduly severe nor sentimental, the rules have stood the test of time and still reverberate today.

Book Description
Excerpt from Etiquette of Social Life in Washington Precedence at the dinner table is the grand subject of social wrangling in Washington, and the need of a fixed rule is here so painfully apparent, that those who have been taught to be careful by sad experience, will simply avoid asking those func tionaries to meet each other whose claims may con ict. Yet the Vice President, the chiefjustice, the Speaker, the General of the Army, the Admiral of the Navy, Foreign Ministers, Cabinet Ministers and Senators, they and their wives ought to be able to meet, and dine in peace together! Let a social congress or woman's parliament be convened, composed of these ladies, where, after all the arguments and respective claims have been duly weighed, some positive rules may be agreed upon. It is surprising what natural aristocrats women are. In the army and navy, for example, the wives of officers adhere more rigidly to designated and relative social rank, than the Officers do themselves nor do our American women object to bear foreign titles of distinction. Indeed, in this they reason wisely; for in countries where class distinctions exist, these usually imply respectable lineage.
