Title Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (2nd 100 Pages)
Note 2nd 100 Pages
Summary "Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (2nd 100 Pages)" by Noah Webster is a comprehensive reference work that provides definitions and etymology for a wide variety of English words. The book was probably written in the early 19th century, a period marked by a fascination with language and education in America. The likely topic of this work is the clarification and standardization of English language, presenting insights into not only individual words but also their meanings, uses, and historical context. The opening of this reference book presents a series of entries from the dictionary, illustrating the format and style in which Webster lays out the definitions. Each entry includes the word's pronunciation, part of speech, meaning, and examples of usage, reflecting Webster’s meticulous attention to detail and intention to enhance the reader's understanding of the English language. This beginning gives insight into the breadth of vocabulary covered in the dictionary, as well as Webster's commitment to educating readers on language and its complexities.
