A Dictionary Of The English Language Designed For Use In Common Schools Abridged From Webster'S International Dictionary

By: Unknown

A concise classic of classroom English. A compact guide for schools. This english language dictionary, an abridged webster edition intended as a school reference book, presents clear entries that place spelling and definitions where pupils need them. Designed as a practical vocabulary building guide rather than an exhaustive scholarly tome, it serves as a reliable classroom learning tool and everyday student study aid: concise headwords, accessible senses and brief usage notes that help young readers learn words and the basics of grammar. Pages were selected and pared for clarity, favouring practical usage and straightforward explanation over etymological detail, so learners gain confidence without distraction. Its measured tone and tidy organisation make it equally suited to classroom drills, homework checks and quiet study, while its role as an english grammar companion gives teachers a compact resource to support lessons. Its plain layout and steady pace suit both classroom routines and solitary revision, and many modern readers also appreciate its old-fashioned phrasing and directness. As a historical school textbook it occupies a modest but important place in the webster dictionary collection: an educational resource 19th century classrooms relied on to instil correct spelling and to encourage a steady vocabulary. Valued as a classic american reference, it sheds light on how language was taught and on the priorities of past education, offering scholars and curious readers a direct glimpse of pedagogical practice. Collectors of period books will recognise its practical charm and provenance as a piece of schoolroom history; casual readers and parents can enjoy its plainspoken entries as a sensible vocabulary building guide and dependable student study aid. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
