Every home, office, school, and library should have a copy of this special edition of George Washington’s Rules of Civility & Decent Behaviour. Re-published by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association, this timeless guide to manners and moral conduct remains just as relevant today as it was in the 18th century.

This edition captures the spirit of a young George Washington—around age 14—complete with the original spelling and punctuation errors from his personal exercise book. Within its pages are 110 rules that offer insight into the values and principles that helped shape Washington’s character and leadership.

This exclusive publication also includes a biographical epilogue written by the staff of the Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington, offering context and reflection. The endpapers feature the Vaughn Plan garden design for Mount Vernon, dated 1787, making this a meaningful and historically rich keepsake.
