American Dictionary of The English Language Noah Webster 1828 Noah Webster is known as quoting, "Education is
useless without the Bible." As a
result of this he utilized God’s word as a key to the meaning of words and the Bible as the foundation for his
definitions. To emphasis how
definitions have been secularized over the years I wanted to compare the
definition of marriage first from Noah Webster 1828 and second from The New Lexicon Webster’s Dictionary copyright
1972 we have on our shelf here at home. Noah Webster 1828 Marriage The act of uniting a man and woman for life…Marriage is
honorable in all and the bed undefiled.
Heb 13 …the union between
Christ and his church by the covenant of grace. Rev 19 The New Lexicon Webster’s Dictionary copyright 1972 Marriage The institution under which a man and a woman become
legally united on a permanent basis…an intimate linking together I admit it is wonderful to have the book right on my
lap to leaf through, but the following is a wonderful source where you can
look up words online in the Noah Webster 1828 dictionary. Blessings in Jesus, Cindy
The bringing up, as of a child, instruction; formation of
manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline
which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and
form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their
future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and
science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable;
and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect
these duties. ~Noah Webster~ Search For a Word in Webster's 1828 Dictionary
