POLKA

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, PRAGUE, HUNGARY, BOHEMIA, AND THE DANUBE;
GALICIA, STYRIA, MORAVIA, BULOVINA, AND THE MILITARY FRONTIER
by J. G. Kohl
London: Chapman and Hall
1843

Pg. 61:

(OED has 1844 for "polka."  This is an excellent book, but I've got parking tickets and seders the rest of this week and have no time.  Tons of "paprika" here--ed.)

THE AMERICAN WOMAN IN EUROPE,

by Mayo W. Hazeltine
New York: The American News Company
1879

Pg. 9:

(The revised OED has 1880 for "manicure"?  Is that right?  Nothing before that on MOA?--ed.)
