Description:
The Only One on the Internet. Will consider offers.
An American Dictionary of the English language : exhibiting the origin, orthography, pronunciation, and definitions of words / by Noah Webster ; abridged from the quarto edition of the author, to which are added, a synopsis of words differently pronounced by different orthoëpists ; and Walker's Key to the classical pronunciation of Greek, Latin, and Scripture proper names. (New York : S. Converse, 1829), by Noah Webster. First abridged edition. Octavo. 1,011 pages,Complete.
Produced a year after Webster's original two-volume edition, this abridgement was edited by Joseph Emerson Worcester. Worcester had been Webster's assistant on the two-volume edition and would later become a competitor, producing his own dictionary in 1830. This rivalry led to what has become known as the "dictionary wars."
