In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.

BOT'TLE, n. [Fr. bouteille; Arm. boutailh; Ir. boid, buideal; W. bôth, a boss, a bottle, the nave of a wheel; bot, a round body; botas, from bot, a boot, a buskin; botwm, a button; and from bôth, the W. has also bothell, a bottle, a round vessel, a wheal or blister; Sp. botella, a bottle, and botilla, a small wine bag, from bota, a leather bag for wine, a butt or cask, a boot; It. bottiglia, a bottle; botte, a butt, a cask, and boots; Russ. butilka, a bottle. In G. beutel, a bag, a purse, seems to be the Sp. botilla. In Fr. botte is a boot, a bunch or bundle, botte de foin, a bottle of hay. It would seem that bottle is primarily a bag, and from the sense of swelling, bulging, or collecting into a bunch; if so, the word was originally applied to the bags of skins used as bottles in Asia. Yet the primary sense is not easily ascertained. The Arabic has بَطٌ batta, a duck, Sp. pato, and “urceus coriaceus in quo liquidiora circumferunt viatores.” – Cast.]

Noah's 1828 Dictionary

First dictionary of the American Language!

Noah Webster, the Father of American Christian education, wrote the first American dictionary and established a system of rules to govern spelling, grammar, and reading. This master linguist understood the power of words, their definitions, and the need for precise word usage in communication to maintain independence. Webster used the Bible as the foundation for his definitions.

This standard reference tool will greatly assist students of all ages in their studies.

No other dictionary compares with the Webster's 1828 dictionary. The English language has changed again and again and in many instances has become corrupt. The American Dictionary of the English Language is based upon God's written word, for Noah Webster used the Bible as the foundation for his definitions. This standard reference tool will greatly assist students of all ages in their studies. From American History to literature, from science to the Word of God, this dictionary is a necessity. For homeschoolers as well as avid Bible students it is easy, fast, and sophisticated.

* As a note, I have purchased each of these products. In fact, as we have been developing the Project:: 1828 Reprint, I have purchased several of the bulky hard-cover dictionaries. My opinion is that the 2000-page hard-cover edition is the only good viable solution at this time. The compact edition was a bit disappointing and the CD-ROM as well.
