_EXCISE._
The following curious little document is the opinion of Lord
Mansfield, when Attorney-General, upon Dr. Johnson's
explanation of the word Excise:--
_CASE._
Mr. Samuel Johnson has lately published a book, entitled "A
Dictionary of the English Language, in which the words are
deduced from their originals, and illustrated in their
different significations by examples from the best writers.
To which are prefixed a History of the Language and an
English Grammar."
