More than sixty thousand entries are accompanied by comprehensive definitions; advice on grammar, usage, and writing; etymologies; usage notes; and geographical and biographical entries. Reissue.
A standard dictionary. But I always give an extra point or two for having the name "Webster's" in the title! For what it is, it serves one well. Some nice features (on pages viii to xvii): a sample page, identifying the different components of each entry; a guide to the dictionary itself; a pronunciation key; common abbreviations used throughout the dictionary.
