George Washington's "Rules of Civility"

Victoria Fanton reads a couple of qauotes from George Washington's book "Rules of Civility."   I sent a copy of the PDF file of the actual book to our members. 

Below is a link to one version of the book that you can read online.  It has beautiful pictures in it, too.
