See Skeel 639."Primary Schools" as used now means grades 1 to 3 but that is not the age intended by the author. We are uncertain of what the notion of a primary school was in 1833 when this dictionary was first published but the instructions to the reader are for older children or adults. A sample will suffice: "The orthography of a few words the etymology of which has been mistaken as furlow chimist melasses mold cigar redoubt redoutable controller and a few others has been corrected. The usual orthography is palpably erroneous." - p. iv.Noah Webster 1748-1843 American lexicographer & educator. Best known today for his Dictionary Webster was an ardent supporter of the American Revolution and of the beginnings of Federalism in the new United States. He saw education as a means for uniting the new nation and was a tireless promoter of his new spelling & educational endeavors. He eventually became disillusioned with the development of the party system of politics and concentrated his efforts in the realm of education. F. J. Huntington and Co. hardcover

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."
