This was the first general collection, and one of the best; and after this date (1674) many dialect words appeared in English Dictionaries, such as those of Elisha Coles (1676, and four subsequent editions); John Kersey (1708, etc.); Nathaniel Bailey (1721, etc.); N.Bailey's _Dictionary_, Part II, a distinct work (1727, etc.).

The celebrated _Dictionary_ by Dr Johnson, 2 vols., folio, London, 1755, owed much to Bailey.

Later, we may notice the _Dictionary_ by John Ash, London, 1775; and Todd's edition of Johnson, London, 1818.

It is needless to mention later works; see the Complete List of Dictionaries, by H.B.
Wheatley, reprinted in the E.D.S.Bibliographical List (1877), pp.
3-11; and the long List of Works which more particularly relate to English Dialects in the same, pp.
