George Washington's Rules of Civility: Practice Cursive Handwriting with Excerpts from this Classic Book of Manners

Immerse yourself in history and improve your social graces while practicing your cursive handwriting.

Copywork is the best way to learn basic grammar, spelling, and composition skills, so why practice penmanship with random phrases and sentences when you could be learning from one of history's great leaders in his own words?

In addition to being a renowned general and the first President of the United States, George Washington was noted for his impeccable manners. At the age of 14, he wrote a book called "Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation," which drew from a French book of maxims intended to cultivate virtue, ease social relations, and improve self-control.

This copybook includes over 30 passages, each suitable for tracing and then copying directly under the modeled words. Each passage is also provided in typed form to allow easy reading and copying onto notebook paper if desired.

Suitable for any age to practice cursive handwriting.
