Copied out by hand as a young man aspiring to the status of
Gentleman, George Washington's 110 rules were based on a set of
rules composed by French Jesuits in 1595. The first English edition
of these rules was available in Francis Hawkins' Youths Behavior,
or Decency in Conversation Amongst Men, which appeared in 1640, and
it is from work that Washington seems to have copied. The rules as
Washington wrote them out are a simplified version of this text.
However much he may have simplified them, these precepts had a
strong influence on Washington, who aimed to always live by them.
The rules focus on self-respect and respect for others through
details of etiquette. The rules offer pointers on such issues as
how to dress, walk, eat in public, and address one's superiors.
