[APG Public List] Occupations in 18th and 19th Centuries

[JFonkert at aol.com]

I'm looking for something like a dictionary of occupations -- preferably  
covering American occupations in the 18th and 19th centuries.  I have a  
vague recollection of seeing something in the past, but I can't place my fingers 
 on it.  Can anyone point me to anything?
 
I am aware of sources for English occupations, but not of  American. 
 
For  those who are interested, English sources include:
 
Waters, Colin and Titford, John. A Dictionary of Old  Trades, Titles and 
Occupations, Countryside Books  (2002).
Raymond, Stuart A. Occupational sources for genealogists: a  bibliography, 
Birmingham, Federation of Family History  Societies (1996)
Hurley, Beryl, (Ed.). The Book of Trades: Or Library of  Useful Arts: Vol 
1, Devizes, Wiltshire, Wiltshire Family History Society,  1991.  [at least 
three volumes in this  series]
 
Thanks for any help anyone can  offer.
