This is “The Century Dictionary and Cyclopaedia”, printed in 1889, the biggest dictionary of the 19th century.
I tried OCR tools, but they made many mistakes. So I decided to type it letter by letter from this scanned version:

The dictionary is so old and it’s so burdensome a job to get the full text, do you really need to make it into a mdx? There are so many better modern dictionaries in mdx form available nowadays. I could not see what makes it so important.
一些老的词典可能有历史意义
这几个例子看着就不错，支持。
This dictionary is in 8513 pages in a tiny font size. It contains many words that is mentioned in 20th century dics, even in the 20-volume OED or the huge Webster Unabridged. It’s a time machine that brings people to an ancient world with unheard words. How funny that in this dic there are no words such as “girlfriend”.
It seems girlfriend has not a timemachine to go back. That’s funny. 
OCR is the way to do this. This is one of those English dictionaries that has great linguistic historical value. Appreciate your work.
