A New English Dictionary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A New English Dictionary: or, a complete collection of the most proper and significant words, commonly used in the language was an English dictionary compiled by philologist John Kersey and first published in London in 1702.[1]
Unlike previous dictionaries, which had focused on documenting difficult words, A New English Dictionary was one of the first to focus on words in common usage.[1] It was also the first to be written by a professional lexicographer.[citation needed]
