We thank the staff at Merriam-Webster in Springfield, Massachussetts, 
especially John M. Morse and Frederick C. Mish of the Editorial Department 
and William A. Llewellyn, President and Publisher.  In a time when many 
publishers fear genuine digital publishing, they embraced the project with 
enthusiasm.  Thanks to them, this resource will be a priceless gift for 
scholars.
