India Paper Edition. This 1949 printing of Webster's New International Dictionary Second Edition last printed in 1960 before giving way to the Third Edition. Its makers write: "Webster's New International Dictionary Second Edition is the culmination of a century's experience in dictionary making. For more than 100 years the work of the editorial staff has been continuous. 207 special editors labored ten years to make this a comprehensive authoritative and up-to-date reference work to serve today's needs" In it "the consultant will find answers to all questions not only about meanings but also about spelling hyphenation preferred forms the part of speech to which a word belongs pronunciation etymology synonyms and multitudes of other problems." <br /> <br /> "A Work of Which America Should Be Proud'' says William Lyon Phelps <br /> <br /> Why this Second Edition is considered FAR preferable to the newer Third Edition<br /> <br /> The Second Edition which is THIS book we've been told is widely preferred by scholars over the Third Edition due to its strict adherence to correct English its purportedly greater etymological/philological detail reflecting deeper entry-by-entry scholarshipits superior aesthetic and design sense "Garry Wills in the National Review opined that the new i.e. the THIRD EDITION dictionary 'has all the modern virtues. It is big expensive and ugly. It should be a great success'" Edited by Philip Babcock Gove the Third encompassed radical changes which some found unacceptable: ".To make room for 100000 new words Gove now made sweeping deletions dropping 250000 entries. He eliminated the 'nonlexical matter' that more properly belongs to an encyclopaedia including all names of people and places which had filled two appendices. There were no more mythological biblical and fictional names nor the names of buildings historical events or art works. Thirty picture plates were dropped. The rationale was that while useful these are not strictly about language. Also removed were words which had been virtually out of use for over two hundred years except those found in major literature such as Shakespeare rare variants reformed spellings self-explanatory combination words and other items considered of little value to the general reader. The number of small text illustrations was reduced page size increased and print size reduced by one-twelfth from six point to agate 5.5 point type. All this was considered necessary because of the large amount of new material." <br /> <br /> "In the early 1960s Webster's Third came under attack for its "permissiveness" and its failure to tell people what proper English was. .as conservatives detected yet another symbol of the permissiveness of society as a whole and the decline of authority as represented by the Second Edition.19 As historian Herbert Morton explained "Webster's Second was more than respected. It was accepted as the ultimate authority on meaning and usage and its preeminence was virtually unchallenged in the United States. It did not provoke controversies it settled them." Critics charged that the dictionary was reluctant to defend standard English for example entirely eliminating the labels "colloquial" "correct" "incorrect" "proper" "improper" "erroneous" "humorous" "jocular" "poetic" and "contemptuous" among others." Further ".The consensus held that the Third was a "marvelous achievement a monument of scholarship and accuracy". They did come up with some specific criticisms including typographic unattractiveness the type is too small and hard to read; non-use of capital letters only "God" was capitalized; the goal was to save space; excessive use of citations giving misspellings as legitimate variants dropping too many obsolete words the lack of usage labels and deliberate omission of biographical and geographical entries.
