| 520 | _a"A Collection of Essays and Fugitiv Writings" by Noah Webster is a compilation of essays focusing on moral, historical, political, and literary subjects, written in the late 18th century. The collection aims to address significant issues faced by America in its revolutionary period, reflecting on the principles of government, education, and societal values. Webster's works are intended to encourage a spirit of inquiry and virtue among readers, particularly in the context of the emerging American identity. The opening of this collection begins with a preface where the author emphasizes the importance of addressing educational methods and moral character formation in America. Webster critiques existing educational practices, particularly highlighting the excessive focus on ancient languages at the expense of practical knowledge and the study of English. He argues for a systematic improvement in education that emphasizes both ethical and civic knowledge tailored to the needs of a republican society. This opening section sets the stage for a broader discussion on how education can shape the morals and governance of a new nation, showcasing Webster's commitment to fostering an informed and virtuous populace.
