Description
This is a dictionary that restores three important and useful features of dictionaries from the time of Abraham Lincoln. First, the use of words are shown by way of quotations from famous authors. Secondly, this dictionary contains not only entries but also essays on various aspects of language. Third, there is guidance on correct usage. Thus, this is a dictionary, like the dictionaries from Lincoln's time, that is meant for more in-depth and entertaining reading, and not merely as a means for looking up word definition.
