Websters Dictionary 1828
This online edition has been carefully prepared in a special format. All words, definitions, and examples have been preserved, but the explanations of word origins have been left out to make the data easier to use in a digital format.

Scripture references have been converted to a modern format, and many abbreviations have been expanded to make them easier to understand.
