FAFM - D is for Dictionary.

Not the complete Johnson's Dictionary but a selection from the First Edition which appeared in 1755 in two very large volumes, each the size of a lectern Bible. Johnson acknowledged the source of the words that he included in his dictionary, having selected them from earlier dictionaries. Johnson's dictionary was set apart from previous ones because he added his own interpretations and meanings to the words that he used.
