From: Keith F. Lynch 

  Forward's "Dragon's Egg" concerns beings made of neutronium and/or
degenerate matter.
  Stapledon's "Star Maker" includes (among other things) beings that
are stars, and beings that are galaxies.  I believe that this is the
first mention of such things (1937).  This is also the book in which
'Dyson' spheres are first mentioned.
