A COLLECTION OF ESSAYS AND FUGITIV sic WRITINGS. ON MORAL HISTORICAL POLITICAL AND LITERARY SUBJECTS
Boston: I. Thomas and E.T. Andrews 1790. xvi414pp. Modern half calf with early calf corners laid down on the outer corners marbled boards spine gilt leather label. Leather bookplate of William Safire on front pastedown with a handful of marginal pencil notations in the text likely in his hand. Mild offsetting on titlepage minor toning. Overall very good. Noted grammarian and pundit William Safire's copy of the first collection of Noah Webster's writings demonstrating the broad reach of the pioneering lexicographer's genius. Webster's essays touch a variety of topics from the new constitution to the practical reasons why marriage between cousins is discouraged. Of particular note is the presence of many words that are spelled phonetically such as "Guvernment" "Skools" and "Karacter." This editorial decision was in keeping with Webster's growing desire to simplify language and qualify it in American as opposed to British ways by dispensing with unnecessary vowels and misleading consonant pairings such as "ch" for "k". The language experiments played out here demonstrate an important step in Webster's development as lexicographer which would would culminate in the publication of Webster's famous dictionary nearly forty years later in 1828. A charming Webster item with a notable linguistics-related provenance having been owned by William Safire the preeminent popular language and grammar expert of the 20th century. Safire was an author journalist and speechwriter who wrote the long-running column "On Language" for the New York Times. An attractive copy by the foundational American language expert owned by the most notable public expert on language in 20th-century America. NAIP w030387. EVANS 23053. SKEEL 745. BRINLEY SALE 7292.

Webster Noah
A dictionary of the English language: intended to exhibit I. The origin and affinities of every English word. II. The orthography and the pronunciation of words. III. Accurate and discriminating definitions. To which are prefixed an introductory dissertation on the origin history and connection of the languages of western Asia and of Europe; and a concise grammar.
London: 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. Barker Esq. of Thetford Norfolk from a copy communicated by the author and containing many manuscript corrections and additions: with an appendix by the editor"; 2 volumes 4to; pp. viii i-civ plus unpaginated lexicon in triple column; 2 and unpaginated lexicon; the publisher's advertisements noted by Skeel have not been preserved in this copy. A good sound copy in mid-19th century half calf over marbled boards rubbed and scuffed top of one spine with small chip; good and sound. One of the scarcest of the early editions of Webster. Of note is the inclusion of Joseph Worcester's "Synopsis of Words pronounced by different Orthoepists" extracted from the American edition of 1829 which was edited by Worcester and published prior to the rift that developed between the two lexicographers. As to the text of the lexicon itself Skeel notes that it "was reworked by the English editor and was not merely a reprinting." Vancil p. 260; Skeel 589A. <br/><br/> published by Black, Young, and Young, foreign booksellers to the King hardcover books
