   • 1975, W.J.M. Mackenzie, Explorations in Government: Collected Papers: 1951–1968, page xxiv:

     Hence I have always kept trying, with indifferent success, to persuade good historians to Namierise the present: this has been left too much in the hands of sociologists, not well briefed about the intimate details of recent history, and of political pamphleteers (as in the Left Book Club days) to whom we in political science owe much.

   • 1984, Margaret C. Jacob, James Randall Jacob, The Origins of Anglo-American Radicalism, page 152:

     The reappraisal of Augustan politics in particular, the reassertion that the post-Revolution era saw a protracted and bitter party struggle over religion, finance, and Britain's role in Europe, not to mention the lingering legacy of a disputed succession, has forestalled any attempt to Namierise the period as a whole, and has heightened the contrast between the volatility of the opening decades and the near-stultification of the mid-century.

   • 2006, David Jeremy, Religion, Business and Wealth in Modern Britain, page 69:

This attempt to Namierise a regional class of Methodist business-men shows principally two things.
