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."
