1878 Scribner's Monthly Aug. 458/1 It gives us quite a traveled, Old-Worldly feeling to talk of going round by the convent and the fig-tree.

1894 New Eng. Mag. Dec. 429/2 Newly arrived immigrants come here to take a look at the New World, which must be after all a bit Old Worldly to them, for Tremont Street is now quite cosmopolitan.

1907 E. M. Slayden Jrnl. in Washington Wife (1963) xi. 99 It is so Old Worldly that it was like a visit to Saxony.

1930 E. Blom tr. R. Sprecht Johannes Brahms viii. 110 The two Serenades are faded and have an old-worldly effect to-day.

1967 Times 23 Dec. 18/3 It is a handsome book. It is sometimes much too old-worldly.

1989 C. Shields Orange Fish 129 An old-worldly habit to walk arm-in-arm, emphatically neutral but with a ripple of protective tribute.
