AN AMERICAN DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE; Exhibiting the Origin, Orthography, Pronunciation, and Definitions of Words

New York: White & Sheffield, 1839. Stereotype Edition (Abridged). Leather. 1011p. A hardcover book bound in full brown leather. Acceptable condition, considering its age. Covers and spine are heavily scuffed all over; the gilt spine text is practically illegible. Lots of early owners' ink inscriptions and personal stamps on the front endpapers; pencil doodles on rear endpapers. Foxing throughout the interior, and spotty stains on the foredges. Pages xxiii (in Synopsis) and 577-578 are detached and torn. Pages 595-606 are coming loose. Rest of binding is tight, and the cover is sturdy, despite the heavy chafing. Item #187838

Abridged from the 1828 edition, which was published as two quartos, this is an early, shorter edition of Webster's classic English dictionary.
