Trying to track down the earliest usage of rivalry, tangibility, excludability, and durability in economics I'm interested in a history of these terms, and wondered if anyone knows where I might find such a thing.
The first mention I can find for excludability is a 1957 law journal paper referring to a court case (inaccessible to me).
The earliest citation I've been able to find for rival goods is Chapman (1909), but mostly I see economics papers cite more recent textbooks (1980-2000).
Tangible goods seems to be a legal term, for which I can find the first mention in an 1889 law journal (which I also can't acccess).
The earliest reference I can find for durable goods is John Law (1750).
A secondary goal might be finding an authoritative source where all of these terms are tied together for the first time.
You can try Google Books Ngram Viewer. On the bottom of the graph, there is a Search in Google Books giving access to the references.
