183234082London: published by Black Young and Young foreign booksellers to the King 1832. First English edition used by Webster as a template for his 1841 octavo "reprinted by E.H.

181924603New-York: Printed by C.S. Van Winkle 1819. 39 1 blank pp. Disbound wrapper remnants in inner margins of first and last page. Light soil Good. <br /> <br /> This pamphlet advocates in response to the Panic of 1819 "two restrictions on banks: first they may discount no 'accommodation paper' i.e. simple loans that were not self-liquidating in the course of active trade; and second that they grant no renewals of loans." The absence of such restrictions the author argues encouraged excessive speculations and brought about the depression. See Rothbard 'The Panic of 1819' page 132 1962. As evidence Aristides cites the "wild enthusiasm" which characterized resumption of commerce after the 1815 Treaty of Ghent and the resulting extensions of credit "to the utmost limit." <br /> Authorship has been variously attributed to Webster and Van Ness. Skeel doubts Webster's hand. "Among other reasons she states that the Letter does not seem to be written in his style and that she finds no allusion to it in his letters. The pamphlet has also been ascribed to William P. Van Ness another who used the pseudonym 'Aristides.'" <br /> Sabin. <br /> AI 49978 4. Sabin 102364. See Skeel page 563 note 12. Printed by C.S.

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.
