<br>Subject: origin of "hopefully"
<br>
<br>The Oxford English Dictionary lists the first appearance of the word
<br>"hopefully" (meaning "it is hoped") as January 24, 1932 in the New York
<br>Times Book Review.  Do you know of any earlier usage or any other sources
<br>where I might research this?
<br>
<br>Thank you,
<br>Carissa
