Actually called The American Dictionary of the English Language.
I'm positive I've seen a Webster's Dictionary of the American (!)
Language somewhere. I thought Noah Webster himself started this,
but apparently I was mistaken.
... Okay, it's _Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language_
and Wikipedia informs me that this is an independent work, wholly
unrelated to that of Webster himself. Sorry, Noah.
