Webster’s 1828 Dictionary




For many families this book is perhaps second only to the Bible in terms of importance in their home. Noah Webster understood that whoever defined the words of a culture would capture that culture. He sought to give the American people a dictionary in which words have meaning in terms of their relationship to Jesus Christ. In fact, this is the only comprehensive dictionary of the English language in print that seeks to communicate a distinctively biblical worldview, even to the point of using Scriptures in the definitions.

Vision Forum's book is sturdy beautifully bound with acid-free paper and a gold foil stamp. A worthy investment for your family. Book's measurements: 11 ¼"H x 8 ½"W x 2 ½"D. Hardback (1,950 pages)

QUOTES BY NOAH WEBSTER:

“In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed.”

“No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.”

“Language is not an abstract construction of the learned, or of dictionary makers, but is something arising out of the work, needs, ties, joys, affections, tastes, of long generations of humanity, and has its bases broad and low, close to the ground”

“All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”

“The Bible must be considered as the great source of all the truth by which men are to be guided in government as well as in all social transactions.”

“The Bible is the Chief moral cause of all that is good, and the best corrector of all that is evil, in human society; the best book for regulating the temporal concerns of men, and the only book that can serve as an infallible guide.” more QUOTES
