1860 the Philological Society launched its effort || the Oxford English Dictionary was born - past indefinite.
(before 1860) the world had ever seen - past perfect
(after 1860) the project would take more than 60 years to complete - future in the past
So here 'Would' is not about uncertainty? It is about Future in Past frame?
In that case, I have been missing a very important point.
If above is the case, kindly confirm.
Thank you.
