Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a young George Washington, revealing a meticulous and insightful approach to social etiquette that would shape his later life. Written in the 1740s when Washington was a teenager, the text comprises a series of maxims or rules for proper behavior in company and conversation. The author's keen observation of social norms, and his desire to master them, is evident in these detailed instructions for everything from greeting superiors to dining politely. The text sheds light on the social values of the time, highlighting a strong emphasis on respect, deference, and decorum, especially towards those of higher social standing. The book is not merely a guide to manners but also a window into the author's character and the societal context in which he grew up. The rules, while quaint in their detail, underscore a timeless message: the importance of thoughtful and respectful conduct in social interactions, a lesson that continues to resonate even today.
