ROFL!!!!

I said the earliest statement was 1830 but apparently you've proved me wrong about something at long last;

"19 [Ajasson de Grandsagne’s edition of Aelian, with contributions from Cuvier, was published in twenty volumes by Panckoucke in Paris between 1829 and 1833.]"

[books.openedition.org]

It was actually 1829. Or maybe as early as 1829 depending on your interpretation of this and the specific volume.
