A Dictionary of the English Language stands as one of the most influential lexicographical works in English literary history. Samuel Johnson’s meticulous compilation deduces words from their original sources and explores their different significations with examples drawn directly from the language itself.
This second edition presents Johnson’s systematic approach to cataloging and defining English vocabulary, offering readers insight into word origins, etymological relationships, and contextual usage. The dictionary serves as both a practical reference tool and a historical document, reflecting the state of English language knowledge during the 18th century.
Essential for scholars, students, and language enthusiasts, this hardcover edition from Gyan Publishing House preserves Johnson’s scholarly legacy and provides valuable resources for anyone interested in English etymology, historical linguistics, and the development of modern English vocabulary.
