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.
