It is organized into a series of +chapters, introduced by headings beginning with a single asterisk. A +chapter may have sections, which are marked with two asterisks. For +those readers who use Emacs, this structure corresponds to its +"Outline mode", which will be enabled automatically upon loading this +file. + +The chapter "INTRODUCTION" describes the structure of this package. +The chapter "STRUCTURE OF THE DICTIONARY" describes the dictionary +structure in general. An overview of the markup tags is provided in +the chapter "TAGS". A detailed information about dictionary markup +can be obtained from a set of ancillary files included in this +package, which are described in the chapter "ANCILLARY FILES". + +The chapter "DICTIONARY LOOKUP" describes how to use GNU Dico for +reading this dictionary. Finally, other versions of the Webster +dictionary are listed in the chapter "OTHER VERSIONS OF THE +DICTIONARY". + +* INTRODUCTION +============== +The dictionary was derived from the + Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary + Version published 1913 + by the C. & G. Merriam Co. + Springfield, Mass. + Under the direction of + Noah Porter, D.D., LL.D. + +and has been supplemented with some of the definitions from + WordNet, a semantic network created by + the Cognitive Science Department + of Princeton University + under the direction of + Prof. George Miller + +and is being proof-read and supplemented by volunteers from around the +world. This is an unfunded project, and future enhancement of this +dictionary will depend on the efforts of volunteers willing to help +build this free resource into a comprehensive body of general +information. New definitions for missing words or words senses and +longer explanatory notes, as well as images to accompany the articles +are needed. More modern illustrative quotations giving recent +examples of usage of the words in their various senses will be very +helpful, since most quotations in the original 1913 dictionary are now +well over 100 years old. + +This electronic version is being maintained by World Soul, a +non-profit organization in Plainfield, NJ.

For +example, file "CIDE.B" contains words beginning with the letter "B". +Additional information about the tagging conventions and special +character symbols are contained in ancillary files in this directory +(see below the section entitled "ANCILLARY FILES"). The main body of +the 1913 dictionary was essentially identical to the edition published +in 1890, and was republished in 1913 with an appendix containing "New +Words". The new words of that appendix have been integrated into the +main file in this version. However, it is important to keep in mind +that the definitions in this dictionary are in most cases over 100 +years old. Use them with caution! + +At the bottom of each paragraph in this dictionary, there is a +bracketed and tagged "source" indicated. This tells from where the +definition or other text in that paragraph came, as follows: + +[1913 Webster] + = From the original 1890 dictionary. +[Webster 1913 Suppl.] + = From the 1913 "New Words" supplement to the Webster. +[WordNet 1.5] + = From the WordNet on-line semantic network. +[Century Dict. 1906.] + = From the Century Dictionary published in 1906, especially from + the "proper Names" supplement (volume IX). + published +[XXX] + = Added by one of the volunteers. + +The original definitions have been tagged and in some cases +reformatted or slightly rearranged. If substantive information is +added from a second source, usually the additional source is also +noted, as in: + +[Webster 1913 Suppl. + WordNet 1.5] + +This version is tagged with SGML-like tags of the form ... +so that the original typography (italics, bold, block quotes) can be +reproduced. A list of the most important tags for fields in the +dictionary is given below. The tags also serve the more important +function of allowing the information content to be conveniently +imported into computer programs or databases. The set of tags used is +described in the accompanying file "tagset.txt". ***NOTE*** the +paragraph tags

...

do *not* always nest properly with certain +other tags, such as and ("collocation section"), which in +some cases span multiple paragraphs. If you are using a tag parser +which detects improper nesting, you should first either delete the +paragraph tags or convert them to non-tag symbols, or, if possible, +set the parser to ignore the

...

tags. + +The unusual characters (such as Greek or the European accented +characters, as well as special characters used in the pronunciations) +are described in the accompanying file "webfont.txt". Some +information on the pronunciation system used may be found by viewing +the file "pronunc.jpg", and additional explanations of pronunciation +are in the file "pronunc.txt". + +Each paragraph of the original text is enclosed within tags of the +form

. . .

. Within these paragraphs there are no line +breaks, and some of the paragraphs are over 12,000 characters long, +which may prove too long to be handled by some editors. At some +points, embedded line breaks within a "paragraph" are marked by a
" (

followed by two spaces) + to

followed by two line breaks. + (3) convert the string "
. (The exact beginning was in some cases in +the middle of a paragraph, which we decided was not a good location +for these page-number comments, so the page number was usually moved +to the next paragraph break). Pages which have been proofread by +volunteers (e.g., with initials VOL) will have a note within that page +comment: <-- p. 345 pr=VOL -->. Pages which have not been proofread +yet (most of them) will have varying numbers of typographical errors +in them. We still (January 2012) need proofreaders to get the errors +out of these dictionary files. + +** Warning + +This version is only a first typing, and has numerous typographic +errors, including errors in the field-marks. In addition, the user +must keep in mind that this text is very old and will contain numerous +obsolete, inaccurate, and perhaps offensive statements, which are +included solely because this work is intended to reproduce accurately +this historically interesting classic reference work. This text should +not be relied upon as an accurate source of information, as in many +cases it represents the state of knowledge around 1890. The text is +provided "as is", and the user must accept responsibility for all +consequences of its use. Please refer to the header of each file and +the GNU public license. If these conditions of use are unacceptable, +please do not use these texts. + +This electronic dictionary is also made available as a potential +starting point for development of a modern comprehensive encyclopedic +dictionary, to be accessible freely on the internet, and developed by +the efforts of all individuals willing to help build a large and +freely available knowledge base. A large number of collaborators are +needed to bring this dictionary to a more accurate, more modern, and +more useful state. Anyone willing to assist in any way in constructing +such a knowledge base should contact Patrick Cassidy (see above).

This +distribution provides a configuration file "gcide.conf" which you can +use with the "dicod" server in order to look up words in the +dictionary. See http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/dico for a description +of GNU Dico, including links to download. + +The instructions below describe how to configure GNU Dico server +(dicod) to access a copy of the GCIDE dictionary. + +1. Unpack the GCIDE dictionary; +2. Copy the file "gcide.conf" to a directory where you keep your local +configuration files (/etc or /usr/local/etc are usual choices). +3. Replace the word GCIDE_PATH in the "gcide.conf" statement with the +path to the gcide-0.51 dicrectory. You can omit this step and use the +-D option instead: +4. Check the configuration file. Run: + dicod --config /path/to/gcide.conf --lint +If you skipped the step 3, supply the -D option with the acual path to +the dictionary. For example, if you copied "gcide.conf" to /etc and +unpacked GCIDE to /usr/local, then run: + dicod --config /etc/gcide.conf -D GCIDE_PATH=/usr/local --lint +If no errors are reported, then go to the step 5. + +5. Start "dicod". Run the same command as described in step 4, but +without the "--lint" option. This will start the dictionary server +which will be avaialble on localhost (127.0.0.1) port 2628. The +server provides extensive searching facilities. It also parses the +GCIDE markup and automatically reformats the articles before returning +them. + +Now you can access the dictionary using dico (a GNU dictionary command +line utility), or another dictionary client program (such as Kdict or +the like). + +* OTHER VERSIONS OF THE DICTIONARY +================================== +There are several other derivative versions of this dictionary on the +internet, in some cases reformatted or provided with an interface. +Those that I am aware of are: + +** Dicoweb +---------- +This version of GCIDE is available online at the GNU Dico web +site: + + http://dicoweb.gnu.org.ua/?db=gcide + +The site provides extensive search facilities. + +** Project Gutenberg +--------------------- +In the extext96 directory of Project Gutenberg +(http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext96), there is a version of the +original 1913 dictionary, which is in the **public domain**.
