Publisher Description
When America’s first President, George Washington, was 13 years of age, he penned 110 rules of civility. Some believe he was simply transcribing something he had read, but no one seems to know exactly what that may have been. This provides a glimpse at the early days of his character development. Narrated by Glenn Hascall.

According to the writers of "The West Wing" (S01xE18 Six Meetings Before Lunch): "Charlie: What are you reading? -Bartlett: Rules() by George Washington... The rules were drawn from an english translation of a french book of maxims. Washington copied them down when he was 14 years old."
