(26)The first English dictionary, called an Alphabetical Table of Hard Words, was published in 1604. The dictionary was actually nothing more than a list of about 3000 difficult words, each followed by a word definition. The author, Robert Cawdrey, made no attempt to include everyday words in his dictionary. No one, he reasoned, would ever have to look up a word in a dictionary if he already knew the meaning of the word. During the 1600s more dictionaries were published. Each followed Cawdrey’s lead and presented a new thousand hard words. Around 1700 one dictionary maker, John Kersey, did define easy words as well as hard ones. But until the 1750’s all dictionaries were rather crude and not very valuable.
(27)A man named Dr. Samuel Johnson changed all this. In 1755 Dr. Johnson produced the first modern dictionary. He included in his dictionary all important sentences to show how each word was actually used in speech and in writing By the end of the 1700s most dictionary makers had followed Johnson’s lead. Dictionaries were getting better and better.The 1800s saw the greatest improvement in the quality of dictionaries. In England scholars planned and prepared the Oxford English Dictionary, a twenty-volume work. (28)One of the most interesting features of the Oxford English Dictionary is its word histories. It traces the history of each word from its earliest recorded use up to the time of the printing of the dictionary.
