    Outstanding work from an esteemed Founding Uncle.

    Someone once said Noah Webster was not a Founding Father, per se, but he was a Founding Uncle. Many homeschoolers who want to maintain a sense of traditional biblical education use this dictionary. It should be in every home, esp. Christian home. Compare the definitions in this dictionary to modern dictionaries and see the difference. Here are a few: "SAVIOR: one that saves or preserves; but properly applied only to Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, who has opened the way to everlasting salvation by his obedience and death, and who is therefore called the Savior, by way of distinction, the Savior of men, the Savior of the world. Gen. Washington may be called Saver, but not the Savior of his country". MARRIAGE: the act of uniting a man and a woman for life; wedlock; the legal union of ...

  • Interesting, historical and has some big surprises

    Language has been getting lost in the muck of the last couple of hundred years. I love being able to look up works in this dictionary to help me know the definition of words I may not understand the full meaning of (as in the King James Bible) and also love to look up the meanings of words as they were then. A lot of subtle and not-so-subtle changes have been happening in the English language just in my lifetime! It even has some surprises, like its definition of the word superstitious. I could not help but get the feeling the original dictionary author(s) was/were thinking of some of the old Catholic practices, such as paying in advance of sinning to have them absolved. In fact, this older dictionary has no reference whatever toward things we think of today with that word, such as black ...

  • A study aid worthy any reference library

    I can't say too much about this dictionary, as of yet, as I've only had it a short while. What I can say is that I like it for it's archaic definitions. There are a lot of words out there that are no longer used in everyday language, yet are still out there. They need to be defined as there are still valuable books out there that were written using words that have either changed meaning, or simply been abandoned. Some of the newer dictionaries either don't define them or list them as archaic. I have been in search of an older dictionary for quite some time as they writters of these books appreciated words and knowledge. I never knew the word 'conversation' to mean a lifestyle, I only knew it to mean speach between people. So when reading this word in my bible, there was something ...

  • Very happy with our new, gigantic dictionary!

    We are so happy we added this gigantic dictionary to our family heirloom library! It's beautiful and fairly easy to read. It's super easy to look up words as every column on each page are headed with the first three letters of the first word in that column. Although the first word I looked up was not in this dictionary I was still able to figure out its meaning as prefixes and root words are defined. I'll be able to use this dictionary many times! I feel like this dictionary is worth a lot more than I paid for but if it would have cost more I would not have purchased it. Thank you for the wonderful value!

  • THE classic dictionary

    This is absolutely THE classic dictionary that every family should have. Noah Webster was a Godly man who compiled this work in 1828 -- the first truly American dictionary. He gives complete definitions, with examples from the Bible, to fully explain the true meaning of each word. Just compare his definition of terms like, "marriage", "education", "sin", and "law" to today's modern definitions. The modern dictionaries impart a secular worldview, as opposed to Webster's 1828 work which clearly demonstrates a Biblical worldview. My family uses our dictionary on a regular basis, and I am glad that my children are learning the true meaning of the words in our language. We all should have a Webster's 1828 Dictionary on our shelves.
