Samuel Johnson often referred to as Dr Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer.

He was also the first English retailer of printed books (his London contemporaries in the same trade were all Flemish, German, or French). In 2002 he was named among the 100 Greatest Britons in a BBC poll.
