Noah Webster Jr. 1758 - 1843 was an American lexicographer textbook pioneer English-language spelling reformer political writer editor and prolific author. He has been called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education." His "blue-backed speller" books taught five generations of American children how to spell and read. "In the 'Speller' Noah Webster sought to free American language from the “pedantry” of English forms and traditions. He believed that the American people were the proper arbiters of correct speech and that spelling should be simplified and brought into better agreement with pronunciation. For Webster these changes in language were only part of a larger cultural transformation that would cut America free from what he saw as a corrupt and failing English/European mindset. His American Revolution was not just about changing political and economic institutions it was about shaping a new American identity. Noah Webster’s incredibly popular book shows how the revolutionary spirit once unleashed can push change in a variety of directions." from The Blue-Backed Speller – Forgotten Intellectual Legacy of the American Revolution 2014 .

181924603New-York: Printed by C.S. Van Winkle 1819. 39 1 blank pp. Disbound wrapper remnants in inner margins of first and last page. Light soil Good or so. <br/><br/> This pamphlet advocates in response to the Panic of 1819 "two restrictions on banks: first they may discount no 'accommodation paper' i.e. simple loans that were not self-liquidating in the course of active trade; and second that they grant no renewals of loans." The absence of such restrictions the author argues encouraged excessive speculations and brought about the depression. See Rothbard 'The Panic of 1819' page 132 1962. As evidence Aristides cites the "wild enthusiasm" which characterized resumption of commerce after the 1815 Treaty of Ghent and the resulting extensions of credit "to the utmost limit." <br/> Authorship has been variously attributed to Webster and Van Ness. Skeel doubts Webster's hand. "Among other reasons she states that the Letter does not seem to be written in his style and that she finds no allusion to it in his letters. The pamphlet has also been ascribed to William P. Van Ness another who used the pseudonym 'Aristides.'" <br/>Sabin. <br/>AI 49978 4. Sabin 102364. See Skeel page 563 note 12. Printed by C.S.

Vile Professor and Chair Political Science Department Middle Tennessee State University Murfreesboro TN. Reprinted 2008 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584778561; ISBN-10: 1584778563. Hardcover. New. $49.95 Although Webster 1758-1843 is remembered today as a lexicographer he was equally active as a political writer. As is the case with his dictionary and grammar textbooks his political essays are strongly patriotic and embody a confidence that the United States would soon become a great nation. He composed Sketches of American Policy at a time when the nationally minded segments of the political class were beginning to pursue plans to create a strong federal government to replace the Confederation Congress. Seeing this as a necessary step to ensure the nation's progress Webster endorsed this cause and he wrote this pamphlet to promote it. During his tours throughout the states he presented copies of Sketches to several people who would become delegates to the Constitutional Convention including George Washington James Madison and Benjamin Franklin. The pamphlet circulated widely among the delegates and was an important influence in their debates. Interesting for this reason it is equally valuable as a contemporary critique of the Articles of Confederation by a gifted scholar who associated with the leading statesmen of the day. unknown books
