[Ads-l] Antedating of "Founding Fathers" by Barry Popik

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

Thanks, Fred. Here is a link to the 1886 citation located by Barry.
http://books.google.com/books?id=re5C-7xDS5MC&q=founding#v=snippet&

The link has two parts. The first part identifies the volume within
the Google Books database:
http://books.google.com/books?id=re5C-7xDS5MC&

The second part "q=founding#v=snippet&" tells the GB search engine to
search for the word "founding" within the volume and to display a
snippet. I selected the word "founding" because it occurs only once in
the volume.

Here is a short link if there is a problem with the link above.
