An American Dictionary of the English Language

Census confirmed, with one refinement: the imprint is a split one and should be quoted in full — published by S. Converse in New York, printed by Hezekiah Howe in New Haven, 1828. Cataloguing it as 'S. Converse, New York' alone is correct but incomplete, and the New Haven printing line on the title page is part of what identifies the sheets. There is no UK-versus-US precedence question: this is an American work first published in America. An 1830-32 London issue exists but follows the New York first.
