DICTIONARY OF AMERICANISMS, BY JOHN RUSSELL BARTLETT (1848)
As a record of the "colloquial language of the United States," it's a
fascinating look at the words that actually came out of the mouths of
early 19th-century Americans. It's also a window into U. S. history,
with tiny essays on early political parties, economics, and culture;
its collection of quotes offers later readers examples from a wide
variety of early-19th-century works.
