Description
Micklethwait, a London attorney, profiles the Yankee lexicographer who is credited with first distinguishing between British and American spellings and creating the first American dictionary. He describes Webster's (1758-1843) major publications and the influences and methods that shaped them; recounts his life as a schoolteacher, copyright champion and itinerant lecturer; and examines his legacy. He appends sample pages of the dictionaries. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
