Excerpt from A Bibliography of the Writings of Noah Webster

Rebecca Greenleaf Webster, nor making my obeisance to that tiny mer curial one of my great-grandmothers. Coming from an opulent and vivacious milieu in Boston, she became the chief ministrant to her labor ious husband, living harmoniously, effectively, and lovingly with a mate (j no humor, finding an escape in old age through novel reading, once abhorred and condemned in his writings as a temptation of the evil one. Not in vain did she spring from Gallic blood tempered by that of the serious Huguenots. Had she quailed at her post Webster's life and career must have been quite other than they proved.

In taking leave of her husband as a daily companion I am glad to state, without fear or_ favor, that my opinion of him as a man, a worker, a thinker, a planner, and a doer has risen year by year. His integrity was well nigh unimpeachable, and on that rock, as well as his earnest desire to serve his country and his time, is based my revering admiration.
