About the book

Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language, first published in 1755, was one of the most influential works in the history of English lexicography. Johnson defined tens of thousands of words and illustrated their use with quotations from major English writers, combining scholarship with wit and personal judgement. The dictionary helped standardise spelling and usage and remained a landmark reference work for generations.
