For instance on using the 1828 Webster's Dictionary, what about of the thousands upon thousands of new words in English that has been coined since 1828? A 181 years has passed and technology, society, and the world has gone many dramatic advancements and changes; for instance you will not find the word "helicopter" in the Webster's. I do agree the 1828 Webster's may have less "poltically correct" and more "true" definitions but I think it'd be best if you used a modern dictionary and the Webster's both of which are available on the Internet.
Aye, but you won't need the word "helicopter" for reading the King James. An 1828 Webster's probably would be an excellent companion to the KJV.

However she said that the she considered the 1828 Webster's the best dictionary around. But yes the 1828 Webster's would be good, perhaps better than many modern dictionaries for reading the KJV.
Sounds like an attempt to butcher the Bible if you ask me.

Accuracy for me without a slant one way or the other is the way to go.
Oh yeah, and having it be somewhat easy to read helps!
