Description:
When Johnson undertook to make an English dictionary, he had already fixed upon one of the chief instruments by means of which be would prosecute his design. This was Shakespeare, from whose use of the language--a use neither erudite nor special nor obsequious to social prejudice high or low--the enduring diction of the common intercourse of life could in Johnson's judgment be amply illustrated.
