作者簡介
The Merriam brothers desired a continuity of editorship that would link Noah Webster's efforts with their own editions, so they selected Chauncey A. Goodrich, Webster's son-in-law and literary heir, who had been trained in lexicography by Webster himself, to be their editor in chief. Webster's son William also served as an editor of that first Merriam-Webster dictionary, which was published on September 24, 1847.
Although Webster's work was honored, his big dictionaries had never sold well. The 1828 edition was priced at a whopping $20; in 13 years its 2,500 copies had not sold out. Similarly, the 1841 edition, only slightly more affordable at $15, moved slowly. Assuming that a lower price would increase sales, the Merriams introduced the 1847 edition at $6, and although Webster's heirs initially questioned this move, extraordinary sales that brought them $250,000 in royalties over the ensuing 25 years convinced them that the Merriams' decision had been abundantly sound.
The first Merriam-Webster dictionary was greeted with wide acclaim. President James K. Polk, General Zachary Taylor (hero of the Mexican War and later president himself), 31 U.S. senators, and other prominent people hailed it unreservedly. In 1850 its acceptance as a resource for students began when Massachusetts ordered a copy for every school and New York placed a similar order for 10,000 copies to be used in schools throughout the state. Eventually school use would spread throughout the country. In becoming America's most trusted authority on the English language, Merriam-Webster dictionaries had taken on a role of public responsibility demanded of few other publishing companies.

標識都印到書的封麵上瞭,在京東最差的一次購物體驗,買瞭三本書全是次品。

巴掌大的、四百頁、厚度約1.5厘米的微型詞典。價格有些偏高,印刷一般,裝訂不整齊,切割純手工的感覺,山寨感很強。封麵居然還印有‘JD’字樣,擦都擦不掉,百思不得姐。 寫著"Made in the United States of America",但本人覺得是 MADE IN CHINA。

紙質一般,製作時裁剪的工藝不到位,可以明顯看齣是純手工的呢,還有扉頁不像我們國內的新華字典有防僞標誌、水印之類的,小本本隨身攜帶(齣走時可以放在包裏,很實用),背單詞、查字音變得很方便!!另外,很適閤學美語!
