e-Sword Version:
9.x - 10.x

Tab Name:
Webster 1913

This e-Sword module contains the unabridged, 1913 Webster's dictionary with 115,837 entries. The text is from the "The Project Gutenberg text of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary".

Performance Note: 115,000+ entries apparently stretches the limits of e-Sword's capabilities—I notice a several second delay when switching from other dictionaries to this dictionary. Once in this dictionary, I noticed no delay when switching from entry to entry. The initial delay is because of the size of the dictionary and how e-Sword loads dictionary entries.

Thanks, well I hope it's beneficial. I've been advised by some that the 1828 version is the only version you should use (those comments came from the KJV only crowd). Others seem to like it. Doug Hamp went to a considerable amount of trouble to make it, so I feel it has some value at least.

if you make it into a two piece set A-__, and ___ -Z then it will not have the problem with delay.

I've been advised by some that the 1828 version is the only version you should use (those comments came from the KJV only crowd).

That is because the definitions in the 1828 Webster's are closer to what the vocabulary in whichever version of the KJV that they use, means, than later editions of Websters.

The KJV Only crowd, act as if this is the only version the Apostles of the Christ used (get it? Joke). It was not God that "authorized" this version, it was King James. KJV is actually a government enforced version of the Holy Scriptures. Imagine if our President decided to commission a new translation of the Holy Bible and then demanded every chruch and lay memeber read only that version?
