More on "Intelligent Design"

[Fred Shapiro]

Here's slightly earlier:

1874 _American Naturalist_ Jan. 42 (American Periodical Series)  For the
causes of this cause we have sought in vain among the physical forces
which surround us, until we are at last compelled to rest upon an
independent volition, a far-seeing intelligent design.
