Description
The irreparable rift in the Webster clan came when Fowler attacked Chauncey Goodrich: “These pages are not intended for the public, but for the family of Dr. Webster, and such others as Mr. Goodrich has conversed with.” Fowler assaults Goodrich’s motives in making “unauthorized” changes to Webster dictionaries. This copy, from Fowler’s own archive, was once torn completely in half—perhaps by Fowler himself. Purchased from Fowler’s archive, it appears to have been taped back together by a Fowler descendant.
