Johnson's dictionary was a monumental work, containing over 40,000 words and definitions. It was the first dictionary to include quotations from English literature to illustrate the meaning of words, and it set the standard for English dictionaries for centuries to come.

Johnson's dictionary was a labor of love, and he took over nine years to complete it. He was helped by a team of six assistants, but he personally read and reviewed every definition. Johnson's dedication and hard work paid off, and his dictionary was an instant success.

Johnson's dictionary is still used today, and it is considered to be one of the most important works in the history of the English language. It is a testament to Johnson's scholarship and his love of the English language.
