Webster's Approved Dictionary, edited by Joseph Devlin and published by The World Publishing Company in 1943, stands as a comprehensive reference work rooted in the linguistic foundations laid by Noah Webster. This edition, with contributions from competent authorities, was printed in Cleveland and New York. Although the exact edition is unspecified, its publication during the early 1940s makes it a notable piece for collectors interested in mid-20th-century reference books. The dictionary is designed to provide users with a reliable and updated vocabulary resource, reflecting the language usage of its time. The absence of an ISBN suggests it predates the standardization of book identification numbers. The book is bound in green cloth, showing signs of wear typical of its age, with no dust jacket. A valuable addition to any collection of historical language resources or dictionaries.
