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.

Lacks the front free end papers blanks with one of two present at end. 341 2 pp. foxing. Printed in triple columns. Skeel 641. This copy has the variant of the advertising on the verso of p. 341 and the recto of the next leaf its verso being blank. See Skeel 639."Primary Schools" as used now means grades 1 to 3 but that is not the age intended by the author. We are uncertain of what the notion of a primary school was in 1833 when this dictionary was first published but the instructions to the reader are for older children or adults. A sample will suffice: "The orthography of a few words the etymology of which has been mistaken as furlow chimist melasses mold cigar redoubt redoutable controller and a few others has been corrected. The usual orthography is palpably erroneous." - p. iv.Noah Webster 1748-1843 American lexicographer & educator. Best known today for his Dictionary Webster was an ardent supporter of the American Revolution and of the beginnings of Federalism in the new United States. He saw education as a means for uniting the new nation and was a tireless promoter of his new spelling & educational endeavors. He eventually became disillusioned with the development of the party system of politics and concentrated his efforts in the realm of education. F. J. Huntington and Co. hardcover
