"copy machine" first quote?

[Barnhart]

copying machine/copying paper, 1829

“Substitute For A Copying Machine,” _The Boy’s Own Book_.  Boston:
Monroe and Francis, 1828, p 226

Write with common ink, in which lump sugar has been dissolved—four
scruples, or one and a half drachm of sugar to one ounce of ink.
Moisten copying paper, by passing a soft wet brush over it; then press
it gently between soft cap paper, so as to absorb the superabundant
moisture.  Put this moistened paper upon the writing, and both between
some smooth soft paper, placing the whole within the folds of a carpet,
when by pressure, a correct copy will be obtained.
