The Merriam brothers desired a continuity of editorship that would

link Noah Webster's efforts with their own editi***, so they

selected Chauncey A. Goodrich, Webster's son-in-law and li***ry

heir, who had been trained in lexicography by Webster himself, to

be their editor in chief. Webster's son William also served as an

editor of that first Merriam-Webster dictionary, which was

published on September 24, 1847.

Although Webster's work was honored, his big dictionaries had never

sold well. The 1828 edition was priced at a whopping $20; in 13

years its 2,500 copies had not sold out. Similarly, the 1841

edition, only slightly more affordable at $15, moved slowly.

Assuming that a lower price would increase sales, the Merriams

introduced the 1847 edition at $6, and although Webster's heirs

initially questioned this move, extraordinary sales that brought

them $250,000 in royalties over the ensuing 25 years convinced them

that the Merriams' decision had been abundantly sound.

The first Merriam-Webster dictionary was greeted with wide acclaim.

President James K. Polk, General Zachary Taylor (hero of the

Mexican War and later president himself), 31 U.S. senators, and

other prominent people hailed it unreservedly. In 1850 its

acceptance as a resource for students began when Massachusetts

ordered a copy for every school and New York placed a similar order

for 10,000 copies to be used in schools throughout the state.

Eventually school use would spread throughout the country. In

becoming America's most trusted authority on the English language,

Merriam-Webster dictionaries had taken on a role of public

resp***ibility demanded of few other publishing

companies. 

　　Since 1937. Merriam-Webster is America's foremost publisher of

language-related reference works. The company publishes a diverse

array of print and electronic products, including Merriam-Webster's

Collegiate® Dictionary, Eleventh Edition – America's

best-selling desk dictionary – and Webster's Third New

International Dictionary, Unabridged. Merriam-Webster can be

c***idered the direct lexicographical heir of Noah Webster. In

1843, the company bought the rights to the 1841 edition of

Webster's magnum opus, An American Dictionary of the English

Language, Corrected and Enlarged. At the same time, they secured

the rights to create revised editi*** of the work. Since that time,

Merriam-Webster editors have carried forward Noah Webster's work,

creating some of the most widely used and respected dictionaries

and reference books in the world.
