Book Overview
"The School and Family Dictionary, and Illustrative Definer," originally published in 1841, is a fascinating window into 19th-century education and lexicography. Compiled by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Horace Hooker, this dictionary was designed as a practical resource for both school and home use. Unlike modern dictionaries, it offers not only definitions but also illustrative examples to aid understanding.
This volume provides insight into the linguistic norms and pedagogical methods of the era, making it a valuable resource for historians of education, language, and culture. Its enduring relevance lies in its historical significance and its contribution to the standardization of the English language in American schools and families.
