During the 1600s more dictionaries were published. Each followed Cadre’s lead and presented a few thousand hard words. Around 1700 one dictionary maker, John Kersey, did define easy words as well as hard ones. (2)__________________________
A man named Dr. Samuel Johnson changed all this. In 1775, Dr. Johnson produced the first modern dictionary. He included in his dictionary all important words, and he gave good meanings. By the end of the 1700s most dictionary makers had followed Johnson’s lead. Dictionaries were getting better and better.
