Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: about 290 Temple cites in 1755 Dict. Vol. 1, about 300 Temple cites in 1755 Dict. Vol. 2; about 12 and 40 respectively specified as from Miscellanies. In some Dict. entries, SJ refers to Temple as an "innovator" in the formation of words. Reddick in the Makinig of Johnson's Dictionary, p. 110, observes that SJ added 13 new Temple citations to the 1773 Dict. under the letter H. He also concludes, incorrectly, that these are the only new Temple citations added. My count of Temple additions to the 1773 Dict. is 31, distributed as follows: C=confine; D=devolve; E=evidence; F=favour, fineness; H=habit. . . hungry, 12 total; I=impotent. . . issue, 12 total; M=mart; P=passage. Some of these additions are use of a previously cited quotation to illustrate a different word. The 1773 Dict. additions traced to a text are indicated in bold italic below.]
