floruit 1720 ? edit

The article says:

John Kersey the younger (fl. 1720) ... is notable for editing three dictionaries in his lifetime: A New English Dictionary (1702), ... and the Dictionarium Anglo-Britannicum (1708).

So, if he was editing dictionaries as early as 1702, shouldn't the article say "(fl 1702-1720)" instead of "(fl 1720)"?

In fact, the Google Books digitized version of the 7th edition of Kersey's dictionary is dated 1757 ("MDCCLVII"), suggesting that "(fl 1702-1757)" would be better. NCdave (talk) 10:08, 29 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
