About The Book: Samuel Johnson’s *A Dictionary of the English Language* (1755) is a landmark in English lexicography. It systematically defines over 40,000 words, tracing their etymology and illustrating meanings with literary quotations, primarily from Shakespeare and other classical authors. Johnson’s work also includes a concise English grammar and reflects his wit, moral insight, and scholarly rigor. Created almost single-handedly, the dictionary aimed to standardize spelling and usage during a time of linguistic inconsistency. It became the preeminent English dictionary for over a century, shaping the development of the language and influencing future lexicographers, including Noah Webster in America. About The Author: Samuel Johnson (1709–1784), widely known as Dr. Johnson, was a towering figure in English literature—a poet, essayist, critic, biographer, and lexicographer. He is best known for compiling *A Dictionary of the English Language* (1755), a landmark in English lexicography. Johnson wrote influential essays in *The Rambler*, *The Idler*, and *The Adventurer*, and authored the philosophical novella *Rasselas*. His biographies, including *Lives of the Poets*, and his edition of Shakespeare's plays, set new standards for literary criticism. A moralist and keen observer of human nature, Johnson’s work deeply shaped English prose and remains foundational in literary history and English thought.
