The following year in 1807 Webster began two consecutive decades of intensive work to expand his publication into a fully comprehensive dictionary An American Dictionary of the English Language. To help trace the etymology of words Webster learned 26 languages. Webster hoped to standardize American speech since Americans in different parts of the United States used somewhat different vocabularies and spelled pronounced and used words differently.</p> <br /> <p>In 1825 while spending a year abroad at the University of Cambridge and then in Paris Webster completed this dictionary which featured 70000 words about 12000 of which had never before appeared in a dictionary. A spelling reformer Webster believed that English spelling rules were unnecessarily complex and used the dictionary to introduce American English spellings replacing colour with color waggon with wagon and centre with center. He also added American words including skunk and squash that did not appear in British dictionaries. Three years later at age of 70 in 1828 Webster published the dictionary. In 1843 following Webster's death George Merriam and Charles Merriam secured publishing and revision rights to Webster's 1840 dictionary. </p> . George and Charles Merriam unknown

180760047New Haven: Brisban & Brannan 1807. First edition 12mo pp. 250 original full calf gilt-paneled spine; light dampstaining to the upper gutter; all else very good and sound. Of this small grammar Webster wrote in an 1805 letter to the American publisher Mathew Carey: "I am compiling a Grammar upon what appear to be the true idioms & fundamental principles of the Language--which I hope to have ready for the press within a year." Webster's goal was to lay out the principles of American English based on its own structure thereby discarding previous grammatical systems which served British English. In it he has developed "the real structure and idiom of our language. I have left Lowth and Johnson and mounted to the original writers as far back as the first Saxon laws and annals. The result is that many of the principles of grammar as taught in Lowth formerly and now in Murray whose book is nothing but Lowth's altered and enlarged prove to be totally false; and I affirm that those grammars now taught introduce more errors than they correct" letter from Webster to Joel Barlow Nov. 12 1807. Although this title was not as successful as his series of spellers and readers Webster considered it one of his two most important works. Twenty years later in a letter to Lemuel Shattuck Nov. 18 1829 Webster writes: "My Philosophical and Practical Grammar was first published in 1807 and a second edition in 1822. This work has been but little used; but except for my quarto dictionary I consider it as altogether the most valuable work I have ever published." Skeel 433; Sabin 102375; American Imprints 14192.
