'''Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour In Company and Conversation''' is a book that is associated with [[George Washington]] through his archives at [[Mount Vernon]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=2TU6AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA411 (v. 3-8) Comprising correspondence and miscellaneous papers relating to the American Revolution], 1838</ref> Early on, the rules were thought to have been authored by Washington himself, but a historian named Moncure D. Conway traced the rules back to French origin.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=-EAHAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA7 George Washington's Rules of civility]</ref>

It is believed that young George Washington was taught these rules at a young age by Captain Augustine Washington.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=0jQFAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA13 George Washington: Patriot, Soldier, Statesman : First President of the United States]</ref>
