About This Item
1796 FAMED Noah Webster American READER Speller Dictionary Grammar Americana
The name Webster has become synonymous with dictionary and American language over the last century. Noah Webster sought to create a purely 'American' culture that was independent of British claim; he achieved this by creating his dictionary – a work that helped distance American grammar and linguistics from that of Britain.
Webster's American "Reader" went through numerous editions, titles, and versions, including this 1796 printing of "An American Selection of Lessons in Reading and Speaking".
