Upon this Work the attention of the present tditor lia
been long employed. His tibject has been to select from the
Writings of (surliest and well-known Au,thors, and of others
who have escaped, hat highly deserve notice,- a mass of use-
ful and impressive words, which prove the wealth of. our
Language, anti demand their place. in a Dictionary of ; and
to correct numerous etymologies, which are fonnel in the Dic-
tionary of. Dr. Johnson.. Other 'evidenccs of hits attelitiOn
-will appear in a reetilication'of some miStaiien references, 'or
imperfect citations, winch Di. Johnson has given ; and in
the production ti:t examples to many words which Imre want-
ed eten a single instance of .illustration, as well as-to others
which require additional authority. In these lairthirs he has
derived assistance from some einumunica.tions'of impontan4 ;
which have been made to him with liberality, awl without
solicitation ;`and which have enabled -him, though indeed
tt;ev ate obt very numerous, to admit into his volumes emen-
dations, and additions, as well by antagonists as by friends of
Dr. Johnsen ; by Mr. Malone, Mir. lioi at...Tooke, and others :
of all which the Introduction to this Work will give a wore
explicit account. In these• labours -also.- it may not here be
quitted, the " Plan " of Dr. Johnson has been respeetfolly
followed ; and if it :;11:1.11 be fonni!that,•in the eonstruMon
of the present Work, the Editor has been at all successful, he
must greatly attribute his success to having built upou so
noble a foundation. •

To the Hi >tory of the English Language, and to the Gem-
mar., coninjerahle Additions ise made; and aeChro-
noh,gical List of Anthers cited in the Work, with iiccasional
remarks upon them, Will complete the materials introductory
to the Dictionary.
