h7 ftt.':";1 ~!J'z(" ,I .j [ A' Johnson's Dictionary
For the century before Johnson's
Dictionary was published in 1775, there had been concern about the
state of the English language. There was no standard way of speaking or writing and no agreement as to
the chaos of English spelling. Dr Johnson provided the solution.
There had, of course, been dictionaries in the past, the first of these being a little book of some 120 pages,
compiled by a certain Robert Caw dray, published in 1604 under the title A Table Alphabetical of hard
usual English words. Like the various dictionaries that came after it during the seventeenth century, Caw
dray's tended to concentrate on 'scholarly' words: one function of the dictionary was to enable its students
to convey an impression of the learning.
Beyond the practical need to make order out of chaos, the rise of dictionaries is associated with the rise of
the English middle class, who were anxious to define and circumscribe the various worlds to conquer -
lexical as well as social and commercial. It is highly appropriate that Dr Samuel Johnson, the very model of an eighteenth-century
literary man, as famous in his own time as in ours should have published his
Dictionary at the very beginning of the heyday of the middle class.
Johnson was a poet and critic who raised common sense to the heights of genius. His approach to the
problems that had worried writers throughout the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries was
intensely practically. Up until his time, the task of producing a dictionary on such a large scale had seemed
impossible without the establishment
of an academy to make decisions about right and wrong usage.
Johnson decided he did not need an academy to settle arguments about language; he would write a
dictionary himself; and he would do it single-handed. Johnson signed the contract for the Dictionary with
the bookseller Robert Dooley at a breakfast held at the Golden Anchor Inn near Holton Bar 1,575 in
installments and from this he took money to rent 17 Gough Square, in which he set up his 'dictionary workshop'.
James Boswell, his biographer, described the garret where Johnson worked as 'fitted up like a counting
house' with a long desk running down the middle at which the copying clerks would work standing up.
Johnson himself was stationed on a rickety chair at an 'old crazy deal table' surrounded by a chaos of
borrowed books. He was also helped by six assistants, two of whom died whilst the Dictionary was still in preparation.
The work was immense; filling about eighty large notebooks (and without a library to hand), Johnson wrote the definitions
of over 40.000 words and illustrated their many meanings with some 114,000 5
quotations drawn from English writing on every subject, from the Elizabethans to his own time. He did not
expect to achieve complete originality, working to a deadline. He had to draw on the best of all previous
dictionaries, and to make his work one of heroic synthesis. In fact, it was very much more. Unlike his
predecessors, Johnson treated English very practically, ~s a living language, with many different shades of
meaning. He adopted his definitions on the principle of English common law-according to precedent. After --------
its publication, his Dictionary was not seriously rivaled for over a century.
After many vicissitudes the Dictionary was finally published on 15 April 1775. It was instantly recognized
as a landmark throughout Europe. 'this very noble work', wrote the leading Italian lexicographer, 'will be
a perpetual monument of Fame to the Author, an Honor to his own Country in particular, and a general
Benefit to the republic of Letters throughout Europe'. The fact that Johnson had taken on the Academies of
Europe and matched them (everyone knows that forty French academics had taken forty years to produce
the first French national dictionary) was cause for much English celebration.
Johnson had worked for nine years, 'with little assistance of the learned, and without any patronage of the - --
great; not 10 t e soft obscurities of retirement, or under the shelter of academic bowers, but amidst inconvenience
and distraction, in sickness and in sorrow'. For all its faults and eccentricities his two-
volume work is a masterpiece and a landmark, in his own words, 'setting the orthography, displaying the analogy, regulating the structures, and ascertaining the significations of English words'. It is the
cornerstone of Standard English, an achievement which, in James Boswell's words, 'conferred stability on the language of his country'.
The Dictionary, together with his other writing, made Johnson famous and so well esteemed that his
friends were able to prevail upon King George III to offer him a pension. From then on, he was to become the Johnson of folklore . ._ c::::""'-._ Question 1-3 ~' ~ OIL

The American Civil War was a very sad time for the United States. The people of the country were divided
into two sides: The North and The South. Each side had its own army. The southern army was called the
Confederate Army, and the northern army was called the Union Army. Many people died for both the North and South.
