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. 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."" This dissertation was dedicated to Benjamin Franklin.
