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."

Vile Professor and Chair Political Science Department Middle Tennessee State University Murfreesboro TN. Reprinted 2008 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584778561; ISBN-10: 1584778563. Hardcover. New. $49.95 Although Webster 1758-1843 is remembered today as a lexicographer he was equally active as a political writer. As is the case with his dictionary and grammar textbooks his political essays are strongly patriotic and embody a confidence that the United States would soon become a great nation. He composed Sketches of American Policy at a time when the nationally minded segments of the political class were beginning to pursue plans to create a strong federal government to replace the Confederation Congress. Seeing this as a necessary step to ensure the nation's progress Webster endorsed this cause and he wrote this pamphlet to promote it. During his tours throughout the states he presented copies of Sketches to several people who would become delegates to the Constitutional Convention including George Washington James Madison and Benjamin Franklin. The pamphlet circulated widely among the delegates and was an important influence in their debates. Interesting for this reason it is equally valuable as a contemporary critique of the Articles of Confederation by a gifted scholar who associated with the leading statesmen of the day. unknown books
