A Dictionary of the English Language

Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language was produced during the years when the American home, church and school were established upon a biblical and a patriotic basis. Webster, descended on his mother's side from Pilgrim Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Plantation, made important contributions to an American educational system which kept the nation upon a Christian Constitutional course for many years. Today, when the biblical basis of education is under systematic attack, we need to capitalize upon the availability of our first American dictionary -- the only dictionary in the world to "draw water out of the wells of salvation"--To utilize God's written Word as a key to the meaning of words. Historically, it documents the degree to which the Bible was America's basic textbook in all fields. - p. 9.… (plus d'informations)

Okay, I haven't actually read this book but I have looked up a lot of words in it! Very interesting, great history. ( )

Prefixed Memoir of the Author dated 1847. Browned acidic pulp paper suggests date after 1850; say 1850-1920 (?) No publication date. The original Webster's unabridged dictionary--cover. ( )

A very battered 1852 copy of Noah Webster's dictionary. The first edition was in 1828, I believe. I also have a later edition, from the 1860s, and a much smaller edition for schools, from 1831.

A great dictionary of the old definitions of words. It can be surprising how much word use can change over the years. Most of the examples of how words are used are pulled from very old texts like the Bible.

This is the best dictionary to have around for sermon preparation, and I used it all the time. I love the detailed usages it gives as well as the etymology. I also love the scripture references that it gives for many words. ( )
