Book Description

Excerpt from Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language, in Miniature To enhance the value of this work, the Publishers have obtained, from a Gentleman well qualified for the undertaking, A Collection of Quotations and Phrases, from the Latin, French, Italian, and Spanish Language3, - A Chronological Table Of Remarkable Events, - and A Brief List of Men of Genius and Learning. At the same time they may venture to say, that they have spared neither pains nor expense to render this small volume superior to any thing of the kind that has yet entered into competition for pub lic favour.
