Doctor Francis Lieber's Instructions for the Government of Armies in the Field, which on 24 April 1863 and under Lincoln's signature, the army promulgated to its officers as General Orders no. 100, which also was known as the Lieber Code or "Lieber Instructions", or "Lincoln's Code" or "Rules for Hell", its author, Professor Francis Lieber of Columbia University.

A month after this order was given to the officers in the Union army, Professor Lieber wrote to the top commander, General Henry Halleck:

I know by letters...that the wanton destruction of property by our men is alarming. It does incalculable injury. It demoralizes our troops, it annihilates wealth irrevocably and makes a return to a state of peace and peaceful minds more and more difficult. Your order [to the officers]...with reference to the Code, and point out the disastrous consequences of reckless devastation, in a manner that it might not furnish our reckless enemy with new arguments for his savagery.

Could it be the Manual of Political Ethics,Legal and Political Hermeneutics ? I think Lincoln turned it into General Order No. 100.

The 'Lieber Code', Instructions for the Government of Armies of the United States in the Field, prepared by Francis Lieber, LL.D., was Issued as General Orders No. 100 by President Lincoln, 24 April 1863.
Lieber originally titled his work A Code for the Government of Armies in the Field. It was based on a course, The Laws and Usages of War, Lieber began teaching at Columbia University in 1861.
Interestingly, Lieber was disappointed that the government dropped the term 'code' from the document. There was a practical reason: a "code" would have required legislative approval. In order to avoid a protracted debate in Congress, Lincoln issued the document as an executive order.
In the end, Lieber got his way, as the document has been generally referred to as the 'Lieber Code' since.
