This, I say, is the true state of things in Italy. Its priesthood are subdued by their own system, by its high claims to antiquity, its world-wide dominion, its imposing though faded magnificence, its perverted logic, its pseudo sanctity.
"Sir," said Kerry, "if ever you need a testimonial to your efficiency at this game, my address is Sixty-seven Spenser Road, Brixton. We've met before." "We have, Chief Inspector," was the reply. "We met at Kazmah's, and later at a certain gambling den in Soho." The pseudo fireman dragged a big cigar-case from his hip-pocket. "I'm known as Seton Pasha. Can I offer you a cheroot?"
Stephen Hampton-Evey in Lady Charlotte's hinds, of the possibility that Lord Ormont, who was reputed to fear nobody, feared her. In which case, the handsome young woman passing among his associates as the pseudo Lady Ormont might be the real one after all, and Isabella Lawrence Finchley prove right in the warning she gave to dogs of chase.
In so far as those belonging to the British empire are concerned, he was right, almost without an exception; for it must be admitted, that these societies are, for the most part, filled with pseudo patriots, who discard all revolutionary theories, and are of the opinion, that the independence of their country, if they ever cast a glance in that direction, ought to be achieved in the most lady-like manner, and with "white kids."
"He has fallen fast asleep over the bean-pods; and, even if he had not, how much of the conversation do you imagine he would comprehend? His sole knowledge of Grecian theogony consists of a brief acquaintance with a bottle of pseudo Greek fire which burnt the pocket out of his best pantaloons."

We may call these judgments "pseudo- sthetic" judgments. They fall naturally into several classes, which it will be worth while to describe. First, there is the very large class of partisan judgments judgments based, not upon a free appreciation, but upon some personal predilection or transient appeal.
This very plausible story was accepted without question by Don Ramon, who well understood the handling of herds. Inviting the messenger to some refreshment, he ordered his horse saddled and made preparation to return with this pseudo vaquero. Telling his family that he would be gone for the night, he rode away with the stranger.
When the time comes that they want to do so they will throw out a little mental pseudopodium without much difficulty. They threw it out when they wanted to misunderstand me with a good deal of the pseudo in it, too. The Authoress of the Odyssey
With the rotating, reeling heavens shut out, there were only the shouts and tramping steps of the panic-stricken crew to mark that there was anything amiss. That, and a pseudo sensation of lurching caused by the pulsing of gravity a pull when the Moon was beneath our hull to combine its forces with our magnetizers; a lightening, when it was overhead. A throbbing, pendulum lurch!
