The search-engine results citing H. G. Wells,
well, it happens. There's a reason for it.

There is an H. G. Wells volume titled
The New Machiavelli,
the New York edition is dated 1914.
This volume comes in four parts, each labelled as a "book."

The New Machiavelli 's "Book the Second,"
subtitled "Margaret,"
contains a chapter called Margaret in Staffordshire ("Chapter the First").

And on one page of Book II, Chapter 1 (page 156),
the phrases "state of war" and "nursery floor",
while separate, appear on different parts of the page.

Thus we can write off H. G. Wells,
unless someone finds something I didn't find.
