War, " ed, 1789, vol. i., pp. 324, 325 ) says it was a favorite cant word in Cambridge, Mass. , as early as 1713, and that it meant excellent; as, a yankee good horse, yankee good cider, etc. Cf. Scot yankie a sharp, clever, and rather bold woman, and Prov. E. bow- yankees a kind of leggins worn by agricultural laborers.]
