Wiktionary:Abbreviated Authorities in Webster

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

The 1913 Webster Unabridged Dictionary is often used as a source for definitions, as its copyright has expired so it is in the public domain. Numerous abbreviations of literary works and authors appear in the source; this page catalogs them for reference. For grammatical abbreviations, see Wiktionary:Abbreviations in Webster.

To help add citations to Wiktionary, using these abbreviations as a help, check out Category:Requests for quotation by source

  • Note: The Books of the Bible, Periodicals, and some works of anonymous or doubtful authorship are cited by name only.
