Some earlier English dictionaries

• Robert Cawdrey (1604) Table Alphabetical (first English-English dictionary; 2500 words, copied from a Latin-English dictionary)

Soon after this, several other dictionaries were published. Further landmarks are:

• Elisha Coles (1676) An English Dictionary (25,000 words; plagiarises much from previous dictionaries; adds jargon terms, obsolete words and dialect words (marks these and specifies the relevant county)

• Samuel Johnson (1755) Dictionary of the English Language. (quite full and scholarly; includes quotations to illustrate word usage)

Planning the OED

• First discussed at meeting of Philological Society, 1857

• Existing dictionaries were criticised for being incomplete and unsystematic

• Plan: a record of all words ever used in the language, with etymology, list of spellings, division into subsenses, and supporting quotations for each sense
