The Fall of the Dictionary of Webster

Authors

Louis Phillips

Abstract

During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when verbs hung oppressively low in their sentences, I had been passing through a singualarly dreary tract, and at length found myself, as the shades of evening grew on, within the view of the melancholy dictionary of Noah Webster.
