The Gutenberg Webster's Unabridged Dictionary: Section C

"The Gutenberg Webster's Unabridged Dictionary: Section C" by Project Gutenberg et al. is an electronic reference work based on the 1913 version of Noah Porter's Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary. The electronic edition appears to have been created in the late 20th century, showcasing an extensive compilation of lexical entries under the letter 'C', complete with etymologies, definitions, and examples. The book aims to serve as a valuable resource for understanding the English language, providing extensive insight into the meanings and usages of words that start with 'C'. The opening portion of the dictionary begins with a preface acknowledging the electronic edition's creation and its dedication to the public domain. It notes the numerous typographic errors present and expresses a desire for contributions to improve the accuracy of the text. Following this, it presents a series of definitions beginning with the letter 'C', such as for the letter itself, various musical terms, and an array of nouns including 'cab', 'cabal', and 'cabbage', providing both contemporary meanings and historical context. This introductory segment underscores the dictionary's educational purpose, inviting readers to explore and engage with the richer complexities of the English vocabulary.
