OF THE
e n g X rS'ir Lang v A g e .
BY CHARLES RICHARDSON.
' ' . It was in the year 1747, that. Dr. Johnson annonced
his intention of undertaking a Dictionary of the English
Language. ; In a letter addressed to the arl of Chester
field, he unfolded the flam upon which he designed to
proceed j and he very justly assumed, that a -work upon
bis plan was then wanting to our-literature. The Dic
tionary itself was published In the year 1755, strange as
ii may seem, unaccompanied hy ms plan. ! itut the offence
which Johnson had taken atlhe neglect of the wit among
lxrds, bur the Lord among wits' will fully account for
the omission. The execution w ould not, howeyer, have
sustained a comparison w ttb the. design, had the nieans of
cooiparison leeii giyens-.. j ; V.
Tbe ieadiug priilciples of it were.
that, in his expla-
nations, he should exjiibi. first the d
at ura I and primi
tiv signification of .words, then give the consentientiAl'
and then the metaphorical, meaning; and the quotations
w ej-ctobe arranged according to the 'ages of tbp authors.

tbewbofepenod of eighty years; M lucfiiliave passed since
the first publication of th Dictionary, ho effori has been
wade upon the professed, but unpractised, principles of
its Author to compile a new. ork, nor i any one known
to have engaged even! in the less glorious, but still ardu
Oifs enterprise, of sysytematically' reforming and remould
ing the old.. Supplemeiftsnnd additions to the increase
of its bulk, have been collected and published; servicea
ble, it is true, even perhaps for all intended purposes, but
leaving the demand for a new book as inip.-rative as before.
' Qmnes patnarumformas hie labor uuus habet,' says Scali
ger ; and the home-felt truth ol this dreadful note of warn
ing has hitherto, perhaps, deterred all aspirants to the
honors of lexicography, who may; have ventured (if any
such there have been) to make a commencement of their
labors, from toiling On with patient perseverance to their
final close. -.: j; j'; v:. . -. ;: K;;?-' ; .''.-;
"It is not necessary to raise a question whether the
po werful and comprehensive mind of Johnson could; in
his day in the theii state, of philological learning, have
wielded to'effectual purpose the , force of his ov n rules.
Ceriain it Is that, wiih only Janius and Skinner for his
guides in Ety moloiy, (the latter of w horn, on various, oc
casions, be has most unaccountably neglected,) and with
no remoter search into our language than the age of Eliiia
beth, it is utterly iinpossibie that he should kae luboie
to.apply those rules wilb success. . i . , - j j .

indeed from any thing yet attempted any where; he felt
satisfied that this was hot the solitary dictum of one man '
that the opiuion had penetrated into oiir 'schoots' and
colleges and that it prevailed -very generally among tbe
