Washington, USA (Humanities Magazine): The new Yale Edition of the Works of Samuel Johnson Volume XVIII: Johnson on the English Language […] coincides with the 250th anniversary of the initial printing of Johnson's masterwork, it does not contain any entries from the actual dictionary, but rather Johnson's Plan of a Dictionary - essentially, his book proposal - as well as the Preface and other explanatory writings that accompanied it. The edition has taken nearly fifteen years to reach fruition (or roughly seven years longer than Johnson took to write his dictionary).
