Sobre este artículo
New York, N. & J. White, 1832-01-01. 10th. Hardcover. Good. Bound in contemporary calf. Leather spine label. Rubbing, minor scuffs to cover. Binding generally sound. Early signature on front end page. Text printed in two columns. Scattered spotting. 2 preliminary leaves, 536 pages 15 x 14 cm. Webster's dictionary was extremely important in establishing standardized definitions and spellings for American words and usage; such as color v. colour and music v. musick. "This dictionary almost at once became, and has remained, the standard English Dictionary in the United States marked a definite advance in modern lexicography, as it included many non-literary terms and paid great attention to the language actually spoken." PMM.
Sinopsis
Published on 15 April 1755 and written by Samuel Johnson, A Dictionary of the English Language, sometimes published as Johnson's Dictionary, is among the most influential dictionaries in the history of the English language. There was dissatisfaction with the dictionaries of the period, so in June 1746 a group of London booksellers contracted Johnson to write a dictionary for the sum of 1,500 guineas (£1,575), equivalent to about £230,000 as of 2010.
