<span>The excerpt claims that Johnson’s work is significant because he searched literature and found more words.
The excerpt says how at the time there weren't enough dictionaries, or rather there weren't enough words in those dictionaries. This is why Johnson took it upon himself to scroll through countless books in search of new words, which he later added into his dictionary, published in 1755.

The witches told him and Banquo that Banquo's descendants would become kings. Macbeth has called two murderers to kill Banquo and his son Fleance to prevent what the witches told would happen.
