was "phyletic gradualism" coined by Eldredge and Gould?

Did anyone really use this term *before* them, or explicitly expressed
the same definition they gave of the pattern of macroevolution?

I have the impression that PE is somewhat redundant, potentially
implicit in the modern synthesis, and that PG is more a fictional
strawman than something that ever was very seriously defended.
