Dictionaries & Thesauruses

“It is the fate of those who toil at the lower employments of life…to be exposed to censure, without hope of praise; to be disgraced by miscarriage, or punished for neglect…Among these unhappy mortals is the writer of dictionaries…Every other author may aspire to praise; the lexicographer can only hope to escape reproach.”
Samuel Johnson 1709-1784
