Dissertation on the English Language was a book written by American lexicographer Noah Webster in 1789.
The book followed Webster's 1783 work Spelling Book and aimed to differentiate American English from British English.

Great Britain ... should no longer be our standard; for the taste of her writers is already corrupted, and her language on the decline.
