"Language is the dress of thought."
Samuel Johnson single-handedly compiled one of the most famous dictionaries in history. Published in 1755, it defined the English language with wit, precision, and personality.
Unlike modern sterile dictionaries, Johnson's definitions are filled with humor and literary quotations. A monument to scholarship and stamina.
Volume I of 2 — Preface, History of the English Language, Grammar, and the letters A–K.
