  1. The most famous dictionary after the OED and Webster’s. The renowned author and journalist provides hilariously witty and wise definitions for common words in our language. For example: Abdication - an act whereby a sovereign attests his sense of the high temperature of the throne; Abrupt - sudden, without ceremony, like the arrival of a cannon-shot and the departure of the soldier whose interests are most affected by it. Dr. Samuel Johnson beautifully said of another author’s ideas that they were concatenated without abruption.
