   • 1811, The Scourge; or Monthly expositor, of imposture and folly, page 460:

     […] his height and proportion mighty slender, and well enough by nature, but fidgeted and noddled into an appearance not over prepossessing; nor are his sharp features and very sharp little eyes a whit behind them in quizzity.
