Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary Of The English Language
Being The Unabridged Dictionary by Noah Webster
Published by The World Publishing Company: Cleveland 1945
A Substantial Size Dictionary Measuring 29cm x 22cm x 13.5cm - Weighs 4.3kgs

" Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary of the English Language is a substantial mid-twentieth-century reference work based on the influential lexicographical tradition established by Noah Webster. Published in 1945 by The World Publishing Company of Cleveland and New York, this unabridged edition reflects decades of scholarship and revision, incorporating extensive vocabulary drawn from literature, science, commerce, and everyday usage. The dictionary was designed as a comprehensive linguistic authority for the modern English-speaking world during a period of rapid cultural and technological change.

The volume contains many thousands of carefully compiled entries together with detailed definitions, etymologies, and pronunciation guides. It also includes numerous illustrations, supplementary vocabularies, and a variety of reference materials intended to support both scholarly study and general education. Additional sections such as atlases, pictorial references, and specialised terminology broaden its usefulness, making the work far more than a simple word list and instead a wide-ranging intellectual reference for readers of the period.

Impressively produced as a single large-format volume, the dictionary measures approximately 29 cm x 22 cm x 13.5 cm and weighs around 4.3 kilograms, reflecting the enormous breadth of its content. Its substantial size, classic typographic layout, and decorative binding give it the character of an important library reference book, appealing to collectors of historical dictionaries, bibliophiles interested in twentieth-century publishing, and anyone fascinated by the development of the English language.
