Review
'If Johnson's Dictionary represented a triumph within the technological limitations of his day, this CD-ROM is a triumph in opening up a great work to the computer age. Everyone with an interest in the English language should buy this disc.' Jonathan Clark, History Today
'... this CD-Rom is a gift from heaven.' John Naughton, The Observer
'... were I so empowered, this CD-ROM would be in every school and college in the land and every young scholar would be compelled to study it.' Hugh John, Times Educational Supplement
'A Dictionary of the English Language on CD-ROM should be an immediate port of call for anyone ... interested in the history and development of the English language ... It's what Dr Johnson would have prescribed.' CD-ROM Today
Book Description
This is the first electronic presentation of the first great dictionary of the English language. Samuel Johnson produced his famous Dictionary in 1755 and issued a revised Fourth Edition in 1773. Now, a CD-ROM makes accessible these two main Editions alongside each other, along with digitised images of the original pages.

Dictionary of the English Language
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
