American Dictionary of the English Language (1828 Facsimile Edition)

Best dictionary in the world for the English language. Very high quality. I have the hard back version.

I bought this for my husband. He loves it especially that is KJV compatible.

The 1828 Webster's Dictionary stands as an unparalleled work in American lexicography, serving as both a comprehensive repository and an educational arsenal. Its collection of terms is extensive and discerning, providing a lucid and accurate exposition of the English language. Etymological insights and precise definitions offer a profound understanding of words, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and the general populace alike. Noah Webster's work contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge and the refinement of linguistic expression. Moreover, the Christian grounding of this dictionary sets it apart as more than just a linguistic tool; it serves as a guide for virtuous and godly communication. Its definitions often incorporate ethical and scriptural principles, offering a holistic approach to language that enriches not just the mind, but the soul. In this way, the 1828 Webster's Dictionary stands as a monumental contribution to both the spiritual and intellectual edification of its users, making it an unparalleled asset to both the church and the republic of letters.

This is an absolute MUST for homeschooling families! It really taught us the value, root, and meaning of words as kids, and I wish every family could own one!

There is no dictionary that get to the heart of English meaning as clearly as this first Webster's dictionary. Particularly for students of the King James version of the Bible, or text from the 1700's and 1800's (for example the Constitution of the United States, the Federalist Papers, The Book of Mormon etc.) this is essential to understand the meaning of those writings as they were meant to mean at the time, absent of additional connotations and twists modern vernacular has added to some words. Every home, school, and church library should have this book present and available for every student to access. Its value is rank as all of Shakespeare's plays combined in its instruction and edification of the English language.

NICE TO HAVE SINCE WE ARE SLIDING INTO "1984".

The first 27 pages need to be read by all. It includes The Dedication - the Seed Of The Giant Sequoia, page 3 (the Sequoia trees were around before Jesus was born in Bethlehem (Bet - lechem), Hebrew for House of Bread. Jesus is the Bread of Life) - title page - two sections on the dictionary itself - NOAH WEBSTER'S 1828 DICTIONARY NEEDED TO RESTORE AN AMERICAN CHRISTIAN EDUCATION IN THE HOME, THE CHURCH AND THE SCHOOL and NOAH WEBSTER FOUNDING FATHER OF AMERICAN SCHOLARSHIP AND EDUCATION. The book is literally 8-1/2 inches wide x 11 inches tall and 2-1/2 inches thick. Weighs over 6.2 pounds. All measurements are my own. The book was well packed. Came a week earlier than stated. It is a big and heavy book but opens very nicely and lays flat. The pages are not too thin and no text from the back side shows through. After the first 27 pages there are 88 pages of his picture, preface, INTRODUCTION and a section called Philosophical and Practical Grammar of the English language. The INTRODUCTION is absolutely amazing. Should be made available as a free pdf. The total book is over 2000 pages.

Fantastic dictionary. A must have for studying the Bible. Everyone should have one in their home.

So glad to finally have this early edition. It give the proper definitions of words before they were changed into other incorrect meanings in the modern dictionary.

Thank you so much over there in Virginia: this is one beautiful dictionary and was amazed at the speed it arrived. This will help me greatly in the study of Gods word through the K.J.V. It shows just how watered down our language has become. And it was worth the money. God bless you and keep up the good work from me in Scotland.

worth the buy.

Really happy with this dictionary and nice to have a hard copy considering how the definition of words keep getting changed or twisted
