John Kersey the younger

John Kersey the younger (fl. 1720) was an English philologist and lexicographer of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. He is notable for editing three dictionaries in his lifetime: ''A New English Dictionary'' (1702), a revised version of Edward Phillips' ''The New World of English Words'' (1706) and the ''Dictionarium Anglo-Britannicum'' (1708).

As well as being amongst the earliest monolingual English dictionaries, they were also amongst the first to focus on words in common use, rather than on difficult words. Provided by Wikipedia
