On this day in 1828, Noah Webster published his dictionary. This blurry, but amazing cover was spotted a while ago on eBay, but includes a cut of Webster’s dictionary “The Standard and the Best” and also a wicked cool rotating bookshelf and reading stand.
I wonder where his personal library is today? There’s a couple records online of auction results… but not much. Webster loved the written word, including the Written Word as well. Today, I salute you: Noah Webster, bibliophile.
