Webster's 1828 Dictionary USA

This app is a recreation of the Noah Webster 1828 two-volume dictionary. Its intrinsic value will not only be of great interest to those studying American heritage and Christian studies, but also to writers and those exploring poetry.

Noah Websters 1828 American Dictionary contains the greatest number of Biblical definitions given in any reference volume. It is an invaluable resource written when American values and patriotism were based on Christian values.

Of interest to poets and writers, The Noah Webster dictionary was used extensively by Emily Dickinson. We know that she made frequent and extensive use of Noah Websters American Dictionary of the English Language in writing her poems, paying attention not only to the definitions but also to Websters etymologies and his illustrative quotations.

Being able to see how definitions have evolved today is fascinating, and a great resource when studying.

You can easily search or browse the entire dictionary and add favourites to revisit later.
