Product Description
This 1828 facsimile reprint of the first American Dictionary documents the quality of Biblical education which raised up American statesmen capable of forming our Constitutional Republic. Webster traced roots in twenty-six languages, and gives examples from classical literature and the Bible. Comprehensive introductions are presented for language and grammar. It has been described by one Christian scholar as "the greatest reprint of the twentieth century." The added biography by Rosalie Slater, "Noah Webster, Founding Father of American Scholarship and Education," describes his contribution to many fields and records his conversion to Christ.

The 1828 Webster November 19, 2008
I really enjoy using this dictionary. It has the true definitions of the words with Godly examples taken straight out of the bible. Plus, it is not just a dictionary, but also in the front of the book, there are grammer lessons that show the mechanics of the English language. I think this dictionary would be a wise addition to any household.
Excellent source of word meanings October 3, 2008
This is an excellent source for searching out the meaning of words. I especially like to use it when reading the King James version of the Bible since some word meanings have evolved. If you like to dig deeper into the meaning of words, then this is an invaluable tool to do just that.
Wonderful Resource July 14, 2008
My 1828 edition of Webster's is a wonderful addition to my resource library. It provides a valuable perspective
from which to compare today's culture with that of earlier times in America.
1828 Webster's Dictionary July 7, 2008
This book is not only beautiful, but a wonderful resource tool and a faithful reproduction of the original--no well-educated home should be without a copy!
