The Samuel Johnson Sound Bite Page

Frank Lynch's site offers a concise biography of the man whose many achievements include producing the first dictionary of the English language in 1755. The Timeline summarises Johnson's life and career, while the Books section outlines both his own work and books about him, including James Boswell's classic biography, The Life of Johnson. The bulk of the site is made up of quotations illustrating the often irascible but always pithy wit of Dr Johnson, with an enjoyable sampler page, a set of links to some well chosen topic-related quotations, a top twenty of the month and a keyword search facility.
