Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary Noah Porter printed 1913
This early 20th century dictionary is one of the last great dictionaries to retain a major focus on the use of English words in Scripture.
The Revised Unabridged Dictionary of the English Languageis a revision and expansion of Noah Webster's original work. This particular edition was edited by Noah Porter (D.D., LL.D. of Yale University) in 1900 as the International Dictionary and published in the United States in 1913 by G. & C. Merriam.
The 1913 retains the bulk of Webster's material with significant expansion; this edition contains twice the number of entries and more thorough etymologies.
- Over 120,000 words defined.
- Identical headwords are organized under a single entry (for more than 98,000 entries).
- Over 48,000 cross-linked definitions.
- Over 4,300 linked Biblical references.
The 1913 is an excellent dictionary and extremely helpful in understanding the language of many of the literary works.

Accordance has this so it would be nice if Logos could add this!

Is this the resource you are referring to? I think it was in Wordsearch and was already brought over to Logos. I still have over 300 books from Wordsearch that is in Logos' prepub. If I remember correctly, it was the 1913 edition. Here is a sample definition from the above dictionary:
Christ’mas
n. [Christ + mass.] An annual church festival (December 25) and in some States a legal holiday, in memory of the birth of Christ, often celebrated by a particular church service, and also by special gifts, greetings, and hospitality.
—Christmas box. (a) A box in which presents are deposited at Christmas. (b) A present or small gratuity given to young people and servants at Christmas; a Christmas gift.
—Christmas carol, a carol sung at, or suitable for, Christmas.
—Christmas day. Same as CHRISTMAS.
—Christmas eve, the evening before Christmas.
—Christmas fern (Bot.), an evergreen North American fern (Aspidium acrostichoides), which is much used for decoration in winter.
—Christmas flower, Christmas rose, the black hellebore, a poisonous plant of the buttercup family, which in Southern Europe often produces beautiful roselike flowers midwinter.
—Christmas tree, a small evergreen tree, set up indoors, to be decorated with bonbons, presents, etc., and illuminated on Christmas eve.Noah Porter, Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2021).

Hello, Yes that's it but I can't find it on the Logos website?

This is so weird. Logos paid money to acquire this from WordSearch and invested to built the resource for the Logos environment. The cost has already occurred. It's a Public Domain resource, so every single cent of sales revenue is direct profit. I really don't understand why resources such as this are not sold in the shop.
Have joy in the Lord!
