Although the "Dictionary" is primarily a philological work, DeMaria
shows how it also serves literary, moral, and educational purposes.
By analyzing the content of the 116,000 illustrative quotations
used by Johnson, the author illuminates the major themes of the
book: knowledge and ignorance, truth and probabiity, learning and
education, language, religion, and morality. Johnson's choice of
which quotations to include represents his vision of the
intellectual landscape.
