Webster 1758-1843 began work on an American dictionary in 1800 determined to celebrate the country's independence from the British in every sense including establishing distinctively American spellings of words like "color" and "center." "Webster was "an ardent nationalist and he wanted to stress the political separation from Britain by the cultivation of a separate American language" - PMM. His focus on usage set a new standard for accuracy of definition. The dictionary includes some 70000 words far beyond the previous record of 58000 and Webster wrote every word of the manuscript himself. "There were 2500 copies printed in boards uncut or full calf at $20 for the two volumes" - Grolier. unknown

1828143614New York: Published by S. Converse. Printed by Hezekiah Howe - New Haven 1828.

Morse unpaginated text in triple columns pages untrimmed and hence a copy once in boards the 44 preliminary leaves in Vol. I containing Webster's preface on the history of the dictionary his introductory dissertation "on the origin history and connection of the languages of western Asia and of Europe.

Only 2500 copies were printed. With some spotting to the text and dampstain entering the margin of the frontispiece. In very good condition. A sharp example. In 1807 Webster began compiling a fully comprehensive dictionary An American Dictionary of the English Language; it took twenty-eight years to complete. To evaluate the etymology of words Webster learned twenty-six languages including Old English Anglo-Saxon Greek Hebrew and Latin. Webster completed his dictionary during his year abroad in 1825 in Paris France and at the University of Cambridge. His book contained seventy thousand words of which twelve thousand had never appeared in a published dictionary before. As a spelling reformer Webster believed that English spelling rules were unnecessarily complex so his dictionary introduced American English spellings replacing colour with color substituting wagon for waggon and printing center instead of center. He also added American words like skunk and squash that did not appear in British dictionaries. At the age of seventy Webster published his dictionary in 1828 registering the copyright on April 14. Webster did all this in an effort to standardize the American language. “This dictionary which almost at once became and has remained the standard English dictionary in the United States was the end-product of a stream of spelling books grammars readers and dcitionaries which flowed from the pen of the industrious Noah Webster.Webster’s great dictionary all the 70000 entries of which he wrote with his own hand has been reprinted and brought up to date innumerable times.the book marked a definite advance in modern lexicography as it included many non-literary terms and paid great attention to the language actually spoken. Moreover his definitions of the meaning of words were accurate and concise.and have for the greater part stood the test of time superbly well†Printing and the Mind of Man. "As a whole Webster’s American Dictionary was a scholarly achievement of the first order richly deserving of its great reputation at home and abroad†DAB. With definitions for “some 70000 words—15000 more than any previous English lexicon… Although only 2500 copies of the first edition were printed the work established Webster as a lexicographer of international repute†Lathem 76 United Statesiana 9.
