Webster’s New International Dictionary of the English Language, 1909, is a public domain dictionary, as is also the revised 1913 edition. These dictionaries have been vastly used to expand Wiktionary with more definitions.
These dictionaries were published by the G. & C. Merriam Company of Springfield, Massachusetts.
