Study Library Spotlight: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
Book

This early 20th century dictionary is one of the last great dictionaries to retain a major focus on the use of English words in Scripture.

It includes over 4,300 linked Bible verse references in its definitions.

The Revised Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language is a revision and expansion of Noah Webster's original work. This particular edition was edited by Noah Porter (D.D., LL.D. of Yale University) in 1900 as the International Dictionary and published in the United States in 1913 by G. & C. Merriam.

The 1913 retains the bulk of Webster's material with significant expansion; this edition contains twice the number of entries and more thorough etymologies.

The 1913 Webster dictionary was added in SwordSearcher 8. It does not replace the Webster 1928 dictionary; both are included in the Deluxe library.
