Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language, first published in 1755 is the most famous English dictionary compiled by a single lexicographer and was the standard English dictionary until the completion of the OED.
Noah Webster, an American lexicographer, was a fanatical nationalist who, in his school english textbook of 1786, and his dictionaries of 1806 and 1828, was singlehandedly responsible for virtually all of the differences between American and English spelling, which changes he made exclusively for the purpose of making "American English" different from the language of their former colonial masters.
