Dissertation on the English Language

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.

[1] In the book, Webster commented that "our honor requires us to have a system of our own, in language as well as government.

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