- 1840, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Aids to Reflection and The Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit:
- But I will suppose the person a minister: but minister of a Church which has expressly disclaimed all pretence to infallibility; a Church which in the construction of its Liturgy and Articles is known to have worded certain passages for the purpose of rendering them subscribable by both A and Z—that is, the opposite parties as to the points in controversy.
- 1883, John Bach McMaster, A History of the People of the United States:
- He objected because the amount of stock subscribable was not enough to raise the price of that stock in the market; because the amount of Treasury notes subscribable would not benefit the public credit in the least; because the bank could furnish no real aid in the way of loans; and because during the way it could not be relied on to provide a circulating medium.
- 2004, Christian Crumlish, The Power of Many: How the Living Web Is Transforming Politics, Business, and Everyday Life:
- In principle, geolocalization enables people to aggregate content from multiple sites within the same community, as long as those sites offer webfeeds or some other form of subscribable update.
