What was the purpose of posting this?

The OED references the earliest found written references (books, newspapers, journals, etc.) of words and terms. Uses of such words and terms may have been earlier (verbally, commercial signs, etc.), but these are the earliest found written references by OED staff. And that's not to say there aren't written references out there that the staff hasn't found.
