London: A. Linde
1757
This is the book from which I also got "nostalgia" and "pasta." Volume two is 1757. It's one of our earliest for "ice(d) cream."
Pg. 21: At their entrance into the conclave, those who follow them into the anti-chamber are regaled with iced cream, lemonade and other refreshments.
Pg. 32: ...so that it is a common saying at _Rome_, "None but dogs, ideots, and _Frenchmen_ walk the streets in day-time." The heat of the climate makes the _Romans_ passionately fond of spring-water, iced and cooling liquors; so that great quantities of snow and ice, which are fetched from the mountains and preserved in ice-houses, are consumed there.
