‎Webster, Noah‎

‎A philosophical and practical grammar of the English language‎

‎New 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.

Webster 1758-1843 began work on an American dictionary in 1800 determined to celebrate the country's independence from the British in every sense including establishing distinctively American spellings of words like "color" and "center." "Webster was "an ardent nationalist and he wanted to stress the political separation from Britain by the cultivation of a separate American language" - PMM. His focus on usage set a new standard for accuracy of definition. The dictionary includes some 70000 words far beyond the previous record of 58000 and Webster wrote every word of the manuscript himself. "There were 2500 copies printed in boards uncut or full calf at $20 for the two volumes" - Grolier. unknown‎

‎Webster, Noah‎

‎An American Dictionary of the English Language.‎

‎New York: Published by S. Converse. Printed by Hezekiah Howe - New Haven 1828. First edition of pioneering lexicographer Noah Webster's monumental American Dictionary arguably the most popular American book ever published and one of only 2500 copies printed. Thick quarto bound in three quarter polished calf over marbled boards with morocco spine labels lettered in gilt engraved portrait of Webster after Samuel F.B. Morse unpaginated text in triple columns pages untrimmed and hence a copy once in boards the 44 preliminary leaves in Vol. I containing Webster's preface on the history of the dictionary his introductory dissertation "on the origin history and connection of the languages of western Asia and of Europe. With the additional leaf in Vol. II "Additions and Corrections" which is often lacking and without the "Advertisement" lead as issued. Copies in boards did not have the "Advertisement" leaf bound in as did many copies in calf. In the copies in boards the leaf was laid in to some but was never originally bound in. Only 2500 copies were printed. With some spotting to the text and dampstain entering the margin of the frontispiece. In very good condition. A sharp example. In 1807 Webster began compiling a fully comprehensive dictionary An American Dictionary of the English Language; it took twenty-eight years to complete. To evaluate the etymology of words Webster learned twenty-six languages including Old English Anglo-Saxon Greek Hebrew and Latin. Webster completed his dictionary during his year abroad in 1825 in Paris France and at the University of Cambridge. His book contained seventy thousand words of which twelve thousand had never appeared in a published dictionary before. As a spelling reformer Webster believed that English spelling rules were unnecessarily complex so his dictionary introduced American English spellings replacing colour with color substituting wagon for waggon and printing center instead of center. He also added American words like skunk and squash that did not appear in British dictionaries. At the age of seventy Webster published his dictionary in 1828 registering the copyright on April 14. Webster did all this in an effort to standardize the American language. “This dictionary which almost at once became and has remained the standard English dictionary in the United States was the end-product of a stream of spelling books grammars readers and dcitionaries which flowed from the pen of the industrious Noah Webster.Webster’s great dictionary all the 70000 entries of which he wrote with his own hand has been reprinted and brought up to date innumerable times.the book marked a definite advance in modern lexicography as it included many non-literary terms and paid great attention to the language actually spoken. Moreover his definitions of the meaning of words were accurate and concise.and have for the greater part stood the test of time superbly well†Printing and the Mind of Man. "As a whole Webster’s American Dictionary was a scholarly achievement of the first order richly deserving of its great reputation at home and abroad†DAB. With definitions for “some 70000 words—15000 more than any previous English lexicon… Although only 2500 copies of the first edition were printed the work established Webster as a lexicographer of international repute†Lathem 76 United Statesiana 9.
