The All American Dictionary
§ Webster's
1828 Dictionary contains the foundation of America's heritage and principal
beliefs. It is contemporary with the American Constitution.
§ It
is an excellent reference for classical literature, Bible studies, history
papers, and the ground work of explanation and reasoning for America's national
documents.
§ Christian
readers will find it rewarding to compare Webster's definitions of such words
as: marriage, education, sin, law, faith, and prayer, with those given in any
modern dictionary. The difference gives an appreciation of early American
values.
