A Collection of Essays and Fugitiv Writings On Moral, Historical, Political, and Literary Subjects

"A Collection of Essays and Fugitiv Writings" by Noah Webster is a series of essays from the late 1700s that looks at morality, history, politics, and writing. The collection is all about the big issues in America during its revolution, thinking about the ideas behind government, schooling, and what society believes in. Webster wanted to get people thinking and being good citizens, especially as America was just starting out. It starts with a preface where he talks about how important it is to fix how America teaches its kids and builds their character. He thought schools spent too much time on old languages instead of teaching useful skills and English. He wanted a better education system that taught kids what's right and wrong and how to be good citizens in a country that governs itself, showing how much he cared about creating smart, moral people.
