Antedating of "Xenophobia"

[Shapiro, Fred]

xenophobia (OED 1909)

1887 _Saturday Review_ 12 Feb. 238 (ProQuest)  Mr. Minchin's testimony as to Bulgaria is all the more valuable because he does not exactly like the Bulgarians.  Their curious Xenophobia, which the Russians have with such incredible folly stirred up against themselves, obviously annoys him.
