Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language is regarded by many as the finest English
dictionary ever published. The dictionary is available in many forms. I made the content available here for my own purposes,
out of personal admiration for this particular dictionary.
REPUBLICA'TION, n. [re and publication.] 1. A second publication, or a new publication of something before published. 2. A second publication, as of a former will, renewal. If there be many testaments, the last overthrows all the former; but the republication of a former will, revokes one of a later date, and establishes the first.
