[Ads-l] Antedating of "Neoconservative"

[Shapiro, Fred]

neoconservative (OED 1883)

1848 Times (London) 8 Feb. 6/3 (Newspapers.com)

There must be nothing indefinite, nothing puerile in the watchwords of the Neo-Conservatives, if they hope to exist as a party with honour to themselves or profit to their country.
