"An American Selection Of Lessons In Reading And Speaking: Calculated To Improve The Minds And Refine The Taste Of Youth: To Which Are Prefixed Rules In Elocution, And Directions For Expressing The Principal Passions Of The Mind" by Noah Webster is an early American didactic miscellany combining oratory instruction, moral maxims, and selected prose and narrative pieces intended to refine reading aloud and rhetorical expressiveness for youth. The book opens with a prefatory section of rules for elocution, pronunciation, and cadence; followed by a miscellany of lessons, fables, and moral essays on virtues such as diligence, prudence, generosity, and honesty; with narratives such as the life of La Roche, accounts of General Putnam, and biographical sketches. The text integrates classical exempla, religious sentiment, civic virtue, and instructions for expressing passions while reading aloud. It reflects Webster’s educational aims to shape mind and taste in the young American reader, bridging language instruction with moral education.
