MANGO. A slave-dealer (Mart. i. 59.), more especially one who endeavours to increase the personal attractions of young people exposed for sale by artificial devices, such as high feeding, rouge, cosmetics, &c. in order to increase their value, and give them a semblance of properties which in reality they did not possess. (Quint. ii. 15. 95. Plin. H. N. xxiv. 22.) Hence the word is transferred in a more general sense to a second-hand dealer, or furbisher up of fictitious and old articles. Plin. H. N. xxxvii. 76. of dealer in jewellery.
