Antedating of "Gynecologist"

[Fred Shapiro]

gynecologist (OED 1872)

1831 _Lancet_ 26 Nov. 286  Must we ever deceive ourselves, after the
manner of the author before us and a certain "gynaecologist."

1868 _Lancet_ 14 Mar. 350  It would be interesting to hear the experience
of British gynecologists on those injections.
