This seems to meet the CFI under the "appearance in a refereed academic journal" clause, assuming the American Historical Review is refereed: it was mentioned in an article there. I've added the cite. Better yet, there's a footnote mentioning uses in various historical texts. (If you don't have JSTOR access, you can use the version here.) Hopefully we can track some of those down — I'm not a big fan of the academic-journal loophole for mentions, at least when we don't need it. —RuakhTALK 21:24, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RFV passed. I've added {{rfquote}} to the entry; maybe someone will find and add a use or two. —RuakhTALK 05:59, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
