Examples of usage:

It has sometimes been made a reproach to critics- more often, I fear, by those who hold, like myself, that beauty and excellence in art are identical- that they discourse too little of form in literature, and too much of content. - "The Psychology of Beauty", Ethel D. Puffer.
Curiosity and love of the truth are not yet identical, however it may flatter our self- esteem to ignore the distinction. - "A Rambler's lease", Bradford Torrey.
Is not modern garden- craft identical with the old, so far, indeed, as it hath art enough to stand any comparison with the other at all? - "Garden-Craft Old and New", John D. Sedding.
