representative of our government Poinsett resided in South America, especially in Chile (1810-15), visited Mexico (i822), and was United States minister to the latter country from March, 1824, to January, 1830, during which period he founded the Mexican order of the York rite Masons. He was later Secretary of War in the cabinet of President Van Buren (1837-41) and was honored by Charles Sealsfield, who dedicated to him his novel of the Mexican-Texas Southwest, Das Caji?tenbuch. Since no work of Poinsett is listed in the final bibliographies of either the DAE or the DA, the present writer was impelled to examine Poinsett's Notes on Mexico, Made in the Autumn of l822' as a possible source of Americanisms. The following quotations are offered as evidence ofPoinsett's value to students of the American vocabulary
