 Merriam-Webster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1843, after Webster's death, George and Charles Merriam secured publishing and revision rights to the 1840 edition of the dictionary.
In 1864, Merriam published a much expanded edition, largely overhauling Noah Webster's work, yet retaining Webster's title, "An American Dictionary." This began a series of revisions known as "Unabridged," which became increasingly more "Merriam" than "Webster."
Merriam-Webster, originally known as the G. and C. Merriam Company of Springfield, Massachusetts, is a United States company that publishes reference books, especially dictionaries that are descendants of Noah Webster's An American Dictionary of the English Language (1828).

 Webster, Noah on Encyclopedia.com
Webster completed the revision of 1840, and the dictionary, revised many times, has retained its popularity.
Webster wrote scholarly studies on a great diversity of subjects, including epidemic diseases, mythology, meteors, and the relationship of European and Asian languages.
The difficulty of copyrighting his works in 13 states led Webster to agitate for many years for a national copyright law; it was passed in 1790.

 §33. Noah Webster. XXV. Scholars. Vol. 18. Later National Literature, Part III. The Cambridge History of English and American Literature: An Encyclopedia in Eighteen Volumes. 1907–21
Webster lived to make one revision (for the edition of 1840), and was engaged upon another when he died.
Webster was not to be imposed upon by even the authority of the English Johnson; the locution “never so wise,” opposed by Johnson, he favoured on historical grounds; “skeptic,” proposed by Johnson, he opposed on grounds of analogy.
In fact, Webster had taught himself some Anglo-Saxon, and, however imperfectly acquainted with it, had acquired a true and sensible feeling for historical method and for the weight of analogy in deciding points where usage is doubtful.

 Implications of of Barth’s Works for Postmodern Theology (1)
For Barth, God is revealed in Jesus Christ--this much we know--but, since revelation is a still unfolding event, and since our apprehension of that event is thoroughly fallible and subject to revision, the theologian must inquire continually into what revelation really means.
Webster is especially dismissive of the efforts not only of Lowe but of Isolde Andrews and Graham Ward to chart the affinities between Barth and the openended philosophy of language of Derrida.
He argues that Barth's theology is nonfoundational in the sense that the grace made real in revelation cannot simply be read off of events, nor can it be reduced to something that is a straightforward "given," either within the human situation in general or within the situation of the church in particular.
