Perhaps you are thinking of a different dictionary or a different figure entirely.
Could you please clarify your question? For example, are you perhaps thinking of:
* Samuel Johnson's Dictionary: This was a monumental work published in 1755, considered one of the most important dictionaries ever created for the English language.
* A different dictionary altogether: Perhaps you are thinking of a dictionary by another author named Samuel, or a dictionary with a similar title.
Let me know if you can provide more details so I can help you better!
