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 original 1828 edition was groundbreaking as the first truly comprehensive dictionary reflecting American usage, distinct from British works. Webster?s dictionary was notable for its scholarly rigor, providing definitions rooted in 26 languages and supporting them with examples drawn from classical literature and, uniquely, the Bible. Webster, a proponent of American education and the Christian faith, saw language as a key to both civic and religious instruction. His emphasis on Biblical references highlights the cultural and ideological currents shaping early American society, making his dictionary a crucial reference for understanding the language of the country's founding documents and values. This facsimile edition documents the Biblical and constitutional foundations of American education. Its historical significance lies both in the preservation of Webster?s scholarship and in its ongoing influence: the dictionary serves as a resource to explore language as used by America?s founders and to understand how the Bible influenced culture, law, and daily life. The facsimile continues to be valued for its depth and clarity, often regarded as ?the greatest reprint of the twentieth century? for its role in shaping American thought and education.
