Hartford: Printed by Hudson and Goodwin 1785. xix 48 pp. Facsimile reprint The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. 2008. With a New introduction and notes "Noah Webster: Proposing and Promoting Stronger National Union Through the Power of the English Language" by John R. Vile Professor and Chair Political Science Department Middle Tennessee State University Murfreesboro TN. ISBN 9781584778561. Hardcover. New. $39.95 Remembered today as a lexicographer Webster 1758-1843 was equally active as a political writer. As is the case with his dictionary and grammar textbooks his political essays are strongly patriotic and embody a confidence that the United States would soon become a great nation. He composed Sketches of American Policy at a time when the nationally minded segments of the political class were beginning to pursue plans to create a strong federal government to replace the Confederation Congress. Seeing this as a necessary step to ensure the nation's progress Webster endorsed this cause and wrote this pamphlet to promote it. During his tours throughout the states he presented to several people who would become delegates to the Constitutional Convention including George Washington James Madison and Benjamin Franklin. It circulated widely among the delegates and was an important influence in their debates. Interesting for this reason it is also valuable as a contemporary critique of the Articles of Confederation by a gifted scholar who associated with the leading statesmen of the day. unknown books
