Antedating of "Industrialist"

[Fred Shapiro]

industrialist (OED 1864)

1841 _Arcturus: A Journal of Books and Opinion_ June 49 (American
Periodical Series)  I am delighted to see that the vain, and as I am
convinced, irreligious notions, of the Industrialists, whith their
pedantry and nauseous distinctions, are treated with that scornful
instinct that teaches us to punish vanity so amplified, coming in wisdom's
garb.
