    • 1857, George William Septimus Piesse, The Art of Perfumery and Method of Obtaining the Odors of Plants:
      The Chinese josticks are of a similar composition, but contain no Tolu. Josticks are burned as incense in the temples of the Buddahs in the Celestial Empire, and to such an extent as to greatly enhance the value of Santal-wood.
