Though many of the rules deal with matters of etiquette--such as
whom should rise for whom in mixed company--many concern far deeper
matters that touch on personal philosophies about judgment, honor,
success and conscience. As a peek into the manners of a bygone age,
this is an intriguing work. As a peek into a great mean in his
formative years, this is an extraordinary one.He was an American
Founding Father and the new nation's first president, but before
that, GEORGE WASHINGTON(1732-1799) was an excruciatingly correct
child with a passion for propriety. At the age of 14, he copied out
110 rules for elegant deportment from a work created by Jesuits in
the 16th century as a guide for young gentlemen of quality, and
through these rules, which he took greatly to heart, we can see the
beginning of the man Washington would become taking shape.
