Synopsis "An English Dictionary (1676): Explaining the Difficult Terms That are Used in Divinity, Husbandry, Physick, Phylosophy, Law, Navigation, Mathematick (in English)"
Containing around 25,000 definitions, many of them dealing with legal topics, this was the largest English dictionary of the late-seventeenth century. An innovative work, it was the first to recognize the importance of slang. In addition, it offers lists of dialect words and obsolete terms and the names of market towns and European cities. It also discusses the proper names and histories of classical figures.
