[Ads-l] Slight Further Antedating of "Communist"

[Shapiro, Fred]

Please disregard my previous email asking for help with British Newspaper Archive.

communist (OED 1840 [13 July])

1840 Courier (London) 6 July 2/3 (British Newspaper Archive)  As for the Siècle and Courrier, two papers that were little better than the Communistes a short time ago, they affect a kind of horror for such men and such proceedings.
