[Ads-l] Antedating of "Librarianship"

[Shapiro, Fred]

librarianship (OED 1818)

1783 Gentleman's Magazine Aug. 718/1 (Google Books)

If the librarianship must be given to a person too old or too easy for the employment, something decent might be spared ... to a young man of genius and learning to act as deputy.

Fred Shapiro
