In his novel Newcomes. Please look it up. I just remembered the date of the quotation. Use you own OED.

As for Marx, I cannot find that he ever used the word capitalism in the Manifesto. It does not appear in the 1848 English edition of the Manifesto, although "capital" does about eight times.
He used "capitalist" in the preface to the 1882 Russian edition in a footnote.

I find that he used "capitalism" two times in Vol. I of capital where the word would have been "kapitalism.but there are many mentions of "capitalist" in the ToC of the 1887 translation of the 4th German edition. "

I think Marx rather popularized "capital", but it was in the air in the early 19th century, and deserves little or no credit for "capitalism" but who really gives a damn.
