   • 1852, Charles John Chetwynd Talbot Shrewsbury, Meliora, page 260:

     […] in this country, I say, where the people pass at least seven-eighths of their time within doors, it is but natural that the word home should have extended itself into something more than a mere covering—a bricken case for our bodies (like the Italian casa).

   • 1857, Henry Mayhew, The Great World of London

     In a minute or two the train turns the angle of the line, and then through what a bricken wilderness of roofs it seems to be ploughing its way, and how odd the people look, as they slide swiftly by, in their wretched garrets!
