Published in the same year as the 16th 8vo edition of Bailey's Universal Etymological English Dictionary, this is known as the Scott-Bailey edition, published in folio. As well as borrowing heavily from Bailey (who had died in 1742), Scott's dictionary was also nearly identical in style to Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in the same year. Having published his Plan of a Dictionary in 1747 Johnson had openly shared his ideas from which Scott duly copied. Scott in fact, recognises Johnson's influence in the preface to this work: 'What remains is, to do justice to some previous writers, from whom we have taken (as is not unusual in works of this sort) many things. In particular to the elaborate Mr. Johnson, for the different acceptation of words in English writers.'.…

Stamp of the Mercantile Library Association of New York on full title, with ownership inscription (Robert Morris Halfey?) along top. Updated and expanded edition of the late Nathaniel Bailey's An Universal Etymological English Dictionary (first published in 1721). Gertrude E. Noyes notes in her survey The English Dictionary from Cawdrey to Johnson, 1604-1755 that "both the circumstances of publication and the make-up of the work indicate.that this dictionary was designed as a booksellers' measure to hold the market against that redoubtable newcomer in lexicography, Samuel Johnson" (Noyes p. 179), whose own Dictionary of the English Language appeared in its first edition the same year. Alston writes that "The revisions and additions are extensive enough to warrant this being regarded as a new work," though Noyes mentions that Scott's role beyond the Preface and a few specific revisions was largely to lend name recognition to the publication.
