Step into the pages of Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language—the only mainstream dictionary of its day threaded with thousands of Scripture quotations. Among early-nineteenth-century general-purpose references, nothing rivals its sweeping definitions, offering a front-row seat to an America where civic ideals and sacred language spoke in the same voice.

Rich in scriptural and classical references, Webster’s work remains indispensable to historians, theologians, and cultural scholars.

Writers and poets will likewise recognize its value: Emily Dickinson relied on these very definitions to refine meaning and nuance in her verse.
