Nehemiah Wallington's "Historical Notices of Events Occurring Chiefly in the Reign of Charles I", contained references to an extract preserved among that very king’s pamphlets. The extract in question, dated December 12, 1640, includes a dialog between two of Charles’ close confidantes, Lord Finch and Secretary Windebank, the latter of whom remarks:
“Well met, my Lord, it seems that you have taken flight over the great Pond, pray what newes in England?”
This marks the earliest known written record of the word "Pond.” |
