Terrestrial n. 1	1889 H. MacColl Mr. Stranger’s Sealed Packet in Vilas County News (Eagle River, Wis.) (1897) 17 May viii. 8/1 He gave me a cordial, welcoming smile, and held out his left hand to me [...] I thought it strange that these Marsians should be so like the terrestrials, not only in their forms and features, but in their very customs. Unquestionably they must have had a common origin, and at no extraordinary remote period either. How could this possibly have been? Was it possible that other terrestrials had anticipated me, and dared to traverse the interplanetary space before me?
