Use of word "prehistory"

[edit]

I deleted the assertion that Wilson was the first to use the word "prehistory" in 1851. A Google Book search reveals no example of the word in Wilson's book. (He does use "prehistoric," but the OED traces that back to the 1830s.)PhD 23:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
