Description
American Dictionary of the English Language (1828)
The 1828 facsimile reprint of the first American Dictionary, published by F.A.C.E., documents the quality of Biblical education which raised up American statesmen capable of forming our Constitutional Republic. Roots are traced in 26 languages. Examples come from classical literature and the Bible. One Christian scholar described it as the greatest reprint of the twentieth century.
It also contains Noah Webster's dissertation, "Origin, History, and Connection of the Languages of Western Asia and of Europe," and his "Concise Grammar of the English Language," as well as an added biography, "Noah Webster, Founding Father of American Scholarship and Education" by Rosalie Slater, which describes his significant contributions to a wide variety of fields and records his conversion to Christ.
With 2,000 pages and a forest green vellum hardcover, as well as an embossed goldstamped Paul Revere eagle, it is sure to enlighten and enrich your whole family's understanding of American English and Christian history.
