This rare first American edition of Mason's supplement to Johnson's Dictionary is a fascinating piece of lexicographical history. Though the front board is loose, the text remains intact with clean pages showing only minor spotting—a remarkable survivor from 1803 that offers valuable insights into early attempts to refine English language definitions. A must-have for collectors of antique dictionaries!
