   • 1897, Maurier George Du, The Martian‎^[1], page 384:

     He thought it quite possible that his brain in sleep had at last become so active, through the exhausting and depleting medical regime that he went through in Malines, that it actually was able to dictate its will to his body, and that everything might have happened to him as it did then and afterwards without any supernatural or ultranatural agency whatever—without a Martia!

   • 1909, Algernon Charle Swinburne, Three Plays of Shakespeare‎^[2], Harper & Brothers, page 8:

     Coleridge, the greatest though not the first great critic and apostle orinterpreter of Shakespeare, has noted "these daughters and these sisters" as the only characters in Shakespeare whose wickedness is ultranatural — something outside and beyond the presumable limits of human evil. It would be well for human nature if it were so; but is it?
