The Rules That Shaped a Founding Father — and a Nation
As a young man, George Washington copied out 110 rules of civility and decency by hand — a personal code he kept by his side throughout his extraordinary life. Rooted in rules composed by French Jesuits in 1595 and first published in English in 1640, Washington’s simplified versions became a quiet foundation for the character of America’s first president.
Now, in this elegant officially licensed America 250™ Edition from Applewood Books, those timeless rules are yours to carry, share, and live by.
