weber and and percival don't get long, and the dictionary is a one-man operation. the reviews are fantastic, but webster makes his money from the abridged dictionary. that sells well. the really fat webster's doesn't kemp it's the collegiate dictionary which sells, at least until the digital age. webster is getting obsessive and can't be without compiling, so he wants to do another edition, and to the horror of his family, at the age of 80, he mortgages his house to publish a second edition, and he keeps going, and he keeps working on definitions until the day he dies. the 1844 edition, he includes words -- webster, this is what he did better than everyone else. he keeps track of the american language, and in 1844, the words -- there's editions, published number 1844, and he is including works like arrow aero taxes, and puritan cal, and harvard has emdickenson's copy of the 1844 edition, and emily dickenson returns to it as her sole companion, and that tells you as much about her as the dictionary. she referred to that dictionary constantly in writing her poet trip
