Book excerpt: Excerpt from Johnson's Dictionary: Improved by Todd, Abridged for the Use of Schools; With the Addition of Walker's Pronunciation; An Abstract of His Principles of English Pronunciation, With Questions; A Vocabulary of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper NamesThe Principles of Pronunciation, which follow this Preface, arl selected almost entirely from Walker's Dictionary. It is not common to study these Principles in our schools; and, hence, Dictionaries are very imperfectly understood. The Editor earnestly recommends that they should be studied thoroughly and frequently by every scholar who can understand them; and that teachers should require them to be applied to every lesson from the Dictionary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Defining the World written by Henry Hitchings and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2006-10-17 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the early eighteenth century, France and Italy had impressive lexicons, but there was no authoritative dictionary of English. Sensing the deficit, and impelled by a mixture of national pride and commercial expedience, the prodigious polymath Samuel Johnson embraced the task, turning over the garret of his London home to the creation of his own giant dictionary. Johnson imagined that he could complete the job in three years. But the complexity of English meant that his estimate was wildly inadequate. Only after he had expended nearly a decade of his prime on the task did the dictionary finally appear - magisterial yet quirky, dogmatic but generous of spirit, and steeped in the richness of English literature. It would come to be seen as the most important British cultural monument of the eighteenth century, and its influence fanned out across Europe and throughout Britain's colonies - including, crucially, America. Brilliantly entertaining and enlightening, Defining the World is the story of Johnson's heroic endeavor, 250 years after the first publication of the Dictionary. In alphabetically sequenced chapters, Henry Hitchings describes Johnson's adventure - his ambition and vision, his moments of despair, the mistakes he made along the way, and his ultimate triumph.

Download or read book Johnson s Dictionary written by Samuel Johnson and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02-13 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written virtually single-handedly over a seven-year period by a revered dean of English letters, Johnson’s Dictionary first appeared in 1755. A remarkable monument to the vigor and variety of our language and to the genius of its author, it served as the standard dictionary for more than 150 years and formed the basis for all subsequent English dictionaries. This modern version reduces the original 2,300 pages of definitions and literary examples to a more manageable length, retaining the verbal pleasure and historical curiosity of the original. It features many entries that can no longer be found in most modern dictionaries, with intriguing definitions and examples of usage in the literature of Johnson’s time.
