1751 Works, Volume 1:
- *AN ESSAY CONCERNING Human Understanding (per Wimsatt, Philosophic Words, p. 154, "Johnson's Dictionary quotations under the words impression and operate show that he did not use an edition [of the separately published Essay] earlier than the fourth of 1700"); advance; coexistent (v.1, p.80; Dict. cite is Works); abstractness (Epistle to the Reader); afflux; anthropomorphite; cementer (Dict.: "God having designed man as a sociable creature, furnished him with language which was to be the great instrument and cementer of society." All Works and separately published Essays examined use "common tye" or "common tie" rather than cementer in this quote (first sentence of Book III, Chap. I) - an SJ construction from memory?); consistency; debase; disputant; experiment;

- Some CONSIDERATIONS OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE Lowering of Interest, AND Raising the Value OF MONEY: riches (p.8);
- TWO TREATISES OF GOVERNMENT. In the former, The false PRINCIPLES and FOUNDATION of Sir ROBERT FILMER, and his Followers, Are DETECTED and OVERTHROWN. The Latter, is an ESSAY Concerning the true Original, Extent, and Ends of CIVIL GOVERNMENT; absoluteness; right (p. 103);

- The works of John Locke, Esq; in three volumes. The fifth edition. To which is now first added, The life of the author; and a collection of several of his pieces published by Mr. Desmaizeaux. 1751, London: printed for S. Birt, D. Browne, T. Longman, J. Shuckburgh, C. Hitch and L. Hawes, J. Hodges, J. Oswald, A. Millar, J. Beecroft, J. and J. Rivington, J. Ward, and M. Cooper; (per Wimsatt, Philosophic Words, p. 154-155, "Johnson's quotations from the Elements of Natural Philosophy, first added to Locke's collected works in the three-volume fourth edition of 1740, and the presence in the Catalogue of the Library of Samuel Johnson of No. 601, "Locke's Works, 3 v.," suggest that he used either the fourth edition or the three-volume fifth, of 1751." [BKG Note: SJ, in the Rambler essays, first begins to refer to Locke's titles in December of 1750 and January of 1751, so I am inclined to the 1751 edition of Locke's Works as a source for the Dict. quotations. Also, I did not immediately find the Elements of Natural Philosophy in the 1740 edition of Locke's Works.]
- Locke (no work cited); (?devise: incorrectly changed from Bacon in the 1755 Dict.?); [SJ also adds a comment regarding Locke's use of the positive sense of stubborn.]
