Webster’s First Dictionary and Early Publishing Triumph
Noah Webster published the first edition of his American Dictionary in New York in 1828 after profits from his American Spelling Book fueled years of work. He traveled to Europe to finish the dictionary and produced 2,500 copies in 1828 and 3,000 for Britain, with 12,000 words and 40,000 definitions not found elsewhere. An enlarged edition followed in 1840.
