Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: about 636 L'Estrange cites in 1755 Dict. vol.1, about 840 L'Estrange cites in 1755 Dict. vol. 2. Any L'Estrange cites added in the 1773 Dict. have not been identified. All headwords traced to a text appear in the title below. The edition of the title below used by SJ is unknown, but likely the 1738 eighth edition, as the 1714 sixth edition did not have the Life of Aesop (separately numbered pp.1-38 in the 1738 edition) from which the quote for the headword knotty was taken. The seventh edition or an edition after the eighth was not located.]
