    • 1967, Chemistry: Handbook for teachers, Nuffield Foundation:
      The facts are that, say, one of these 'bottlesworth' of this element and two of these 'bottlesworth' of this other element react to give this one 'bottlesworth' of this compound.
    • 1973, The Spectator, volume 231, page 719:
