And, as the Encyclopædia Brittanica notes, his dictionary is remembered for the detail and clarity of its definitions in comparison to previous attempts from other writers.

Per Brittanica:

"Johnson’s accomplishment was to provide for the English language a dictionary that incorporated with skill and intellectual power the prevailing ideals and resources and the best available techniques of European lexicography."

In short, A Dictionary of the English Language was known for being the greatest in its class-- the iPhone in a sea of BlackBerry smartphones.

After all, best, not first is a popular business philosophy for a reason.
