Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Americanisms: A Glossary of Words and Phrases Usually Regarded as Peculiar the United States The first edition of this Dictionary was published in New York in 1848. It met with a quick sale, and soon passed out of print. Aware of its many imperfections, I began my preparations for a new edition before it had fully left the press. From that time to the day the last sheets of this edition left my hands for the printer, now ten years, I have been more or less occupied in its preparation. Nearly three years of this period I spent in the interior of the country, in the service of the United States as Commissioner on the Mexican Boundary; but even there, I failed not to note the peculiarities of the familiar language of the frontier, and carefully recorded the words and phrases I met with for future use. This experience enabled me to collect the singular words occurring in prairie and frontier life as well as those com mon to Texas, New Mexico, and California. Most of these have come from the Spanish, and are now fairly engrafted on our language. The other alterations and improvements made in this edition, consist in the addition of a very large number Of words and phrases peculiar to the United States; so that it now contains probably twice as many as the first edition. The examples or illustrations from authors, showing the use of words, have also been greatly multiplied. This seemed desirable, as exam ples convey a far more correct idea of their meaning and use than a simple definition. The. Histories of words and their definitions have also been corrected and improved. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compiled together in this volume is the complete text of the 4th Edition (1877) of the Dictionary of Americanisms by John Russell Bartlett (which at 870 pages is 300 pages and several hundred entries larger than the 570 pages of the 2nd or 3rd Edition) and New Americanisms by Sylva Clapin (minus the superfluous word list appendix). Numerous Publisher Notes have been inserted into the text to clarify and explain words, phrases, people and events for a modern reader not conversant with those times. This is not a copy and paste job or a cheap scan; there are no missing pages, areas of blurred or obscured text, or a grey background to any of the pages. The entire work has been re-typed and formatted to produce an educational and eminently readable book of well over 475,000 words. The appendices on slang words and dialects are also included in full, with a new table of contents, references and Publisher's Foreword. This book contains terms and words from the era of the Slave Trade that some readers may find offensive. Please do not purchase if that is the case.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1859 edition. Excerpt: ...species of the genus idler--the most important, because the most annoying branch of that family. " The loafer is not exclusively, as some suppose him, a ragged stepand-corner lounger, who sleeps in the sun, and ' hooks' sugar on the wharf. On the contrary, the propensity to loaf is confined to no rank in life; all conditions are, more or less, troubled with it. Like squinting, the king and the beggar may be equally afflicted with the imperfection. There be your well-dressed moneyed loafer, as well as your loafer who is nightly taken by the watch. " He is that kind of a man, who, having nothing to do, or being unwilling to do any thing, cannot keep his tediousness to himself, and therefore bestows it all upon others, not when they are at leisure for conversational recreation, but when business presses, and they would look black upon the intrusion of a sweetheart or a three-day wife. He is the drag-chain upon industry, and yet so far different from the drag-chain, that he hitches to the wheel when the pull is up hill. Loving the excitement of busy scenes, yet too lazy to be an actor in them, where men are busiest, there too is to be found the pure, unadulterated loafer, sprawling about as the hound sprawls before the fire in everybody's way, and tripping up everybody's heels. In the store, he sits upon the counter, swinging his useless legs, and gaping vacantly at the movements around him. In the office, he effectually checks necessary conversation among those who do not wish their business bruited to the world, turns over papers which he has no right to touch, and squints at contents which he has no right to know. In the ounting-house, he perches on a stool, interrupts difficult calculations with chat as idle as himself, follows...
