Noah Webster Essays (1790)
Noah Webster Jr. (1758-1843) was an American lexicographer, textbook pioneer, English-language spelling reformer, political writer, editor, and author. Webster has been called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education" and his "Blue-backed Speller" books taught generations of American children how to spell and read.
Most people today readily associate Webster's name with his dictionary, first published in 1828, as An American Dictionary of the English Language.
A strong supporter of the American Revolution and the ratification of the United States Constitution, Webster became an editor for a Federalist Party newspaper in New York with Alexander Hamilton. Webster was also a staunch defender of the administrations of George Washington and John Adams.
Webster returned to Connecticut from New York in 1798 and served in the Connecticut House of Representatives. He had earlier founded the Connecticut Society for the Abolition of Slavery in 1791.
Noah Webster was very influential in standardizing spelling in America. He also worked to establish the Copyright Act of 1831, the first major statutory revision of U.S. copyright law. While Webster worked on a second volume of his dictionary, he died in 1843, and the rights to the dictionary were acquired by George and Charles Merriam, which would become the modern Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
Noah Webster was a prodigious writer, authoring many books covering an array of topics. Among his vast writings were a series of essays. This volume contains 31 of his essays, including the famous, "A Citizen of America."
