Johnson's dictionary stands out as one of wit full of pithy entries reflective of his life experience and skilfull command of the English language. A handsome set of Boswell's story of Samuel Johnson a work that has been celebrated throughout the ages as a turning-point in biography remembrance and as a revolution in the characterization of a historical person.
