Since 1937. Merriam-Webster is America''s foremost publisher of
language-related reference works. The company publishes a diverse
array of print and electronic products, including Merriam-Webster''s
Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition – America''s
best-selling desk dictionary – and Webster''s Third New
International Dictionary, Unabridged. Merriam-Webster can be
considered the direct lexicographical heir of Noah Webster. In
1843, the company bought the rights to the 1841 edition of
Webster''s magnum opus, An American Dictionary of the English
Language, Corrected and Enlarged. At the same time, they secured
the rights to create revised editions of the work. Since that time,
Merriam-Webster editors have carried forward Noah Webster''s work,
creating some of the most widely used and respected dictionaries
and reference books in the world.
