Bookplate of former owner on fep "E.W. Phillips" D.D. Fisk Printer. OCLC 476492706 Skeel 256a Illustrated with numeroud wood engravings. Noah Webster Jr. 1758 - 1843 was an American lexicographer textbook pioneer English-language spelling reformer political writer editor and prolific author. He has been called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education." His "blue-backed speller" books taught five generations of American children how to spell and read. "In the 'Speller' Noah Webster sought to free American language from the “pedantry” of English forms and traditions. He believed that the American people were the proper arbiters of correct speech and that spelling should be simplified and brought into better agreement with pronunciation. For Webster these changes in language were only part of a larger cultural transformation that would cut America free from what he saw as a corrupt and failing English/European mindset. His American Revolution was not just about changing political and economic institutions it was about shaping a new American identity. Noah Webster’s incredibly popular book shows how the revolutionary spirit once unleashed can push change in a variety of directions." from The Blue-Backed Speller – Forgotten Intellectual Legacy of the American Revolution 2014 .
