Alphabetical List of Webster's Dictionaries
Webster's dictionaries gave a profound and significant influence on English-Japanese lexicography in the Meiji Period (1868-1912). It is, therefore, very important for us to have a full understanding of Webster's dictionaries, especially those published in the 1860's.
