-  1851, Charles Dickens, Household Words, volume 3, page 422:- So he and Dr. Hutton, the geologist, agreed that they would rise above the narrow fancies of the vulgar, and prove their philosophy by dining together on a snaily mess. They met, the dish of snails was brought to table, and the cover being removed, the two great men looked at their dinner with countenances very blank indeed.
