Edition Notes
William Shaw, on coming from Glasgow to London, 'became acquainted with Dr. Johnson, and was one of the literary coterie which met at Bolt Court and Streatham Park ... After having travelled three thousand miles in Scotland and Ireland he completed his vocabulary, and published it under the title of 'A Gaelic and English ... Dictionary ... 1780'; the work contains 'an undue proportion of strictly Irish words' as a result of an argument between Shaw and some of the subscribers who declared the book defective; 'the highlanders had refused to give him information unless he paid them for it. Thereupon Shaw proceeded to Ireland, where the peasantry received him with more urbanity' [DNB]
