1825 Noah Webster American Spelling Book 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 'Speller' went through nearly 400 editions in his lifetime alone and was nicknamed the 'Blue Black Speller'. This work taught children how to read, write, spell, and pronounce words and was the most popular American books of the mid-19th-century.
