A later edition of Webster's greatly influential spelling book. "In 1783 Noah Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language. It was a concise dictionary for adults and a precursor to the 1828/1829 compendium An American Dictionary of the English Language. Webster modeled his spellers and dictionaries after English imports but included American words definitions and pronunciations. He believed that Americanizing spelling grammar and pronunciation would unify the new nation. Webster revised the first speller in 1787 under the title of The American Spelling Book and included tables of pronunciations common abbreviations and reading lessons for schools at the back of the book. Webster's son William adapted this sequel for school children in 1844 shortly after his father's death. This edition was used by the majority of literate Americans well into the mid-20th century."

1815biblio1Pamphlet 8vo removed disbound 35 pp. Mostly disbound a bit soiled folds and creases at edges ink smudge on title aging and toning throughout. Noah Worcester 1758-1837 was born in New Hampshire and would become a noted a clergyman. He published several important tracts on religious subjects and appears to have had some unorthodox views of the holy trinity and published a few articles on the subject. However around the time of the War of 1812 Worcester reflected on the effects of war and became a pacifist. In 1814 he first published his "A Solemn Review of the Custom of War" which would continue in several other editions. In this work he argued that the violence and destruction of war was inconsistent with Christian values. He would found the Massachusetts Peace Society and this group would be in the forefront of a rather popular antiwar movement that emerged in America around the time of the War of 1812. ANB. OCLC. A.
