   • 1857, Various, The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 1, Issue 2, December, 1857:

     A Prince-Rupert's-drop, which is a tear of unannealed glass, lasts indefinitely, if you keep it from meddling hands; but break its tail off, and it explodes and resolves itself into powder.

   • 1906, John Tyndall, Six Lectures on Light:

     The experiment may be varied in this way: Placing in front of the polarizer a plate of unannealed glass, you have a series of beautifully coloured rings, intersected by a black cross.
