Beautiful! I wonder about the early XIX century peak on misinformation :)
Yes! That would be worth digging into. The counts are normalized by nb of books published, but I also had no idea that the concept is that old. Its use might have morphed though. There is some history in this excellent analysis: harpers.org/archive/2021... Not nearly going that far back though.
