Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from Webster's International Dictionary of the English Language, Vol. 1: Being the Authentic Edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, Comprising the Issues of 1864, 1879, and 1884, Thoroughly Revised and Much Enlarged Under the Supervision of Noah Porter, D.D. LL. D.; With a Voluminous Appendix
In entering thus early on his literary career, Mr. Webster did not confine himself to the publication of his own works. At a period when nothing had as yet been done to perpetuate the memorials of our early history, he led the way, in this important branch Of literary effort, by the publication of that highly valuable and characteristic work, Governor Winthrop's Journal. Having learnt that a manuscript copy was in posses sion of Governor Trumbull, of Connecticut, he caused it to be transcribed at his own expense, by the governor's private secretary, and risked more than the amount of his whole property in its publication. The sale never remunerated him for the expenses thus incurred.
