MY DEAR SIR or let me at once break through the formalities of a first acquaintance, and say, dear Smith; Dear Smith, I am delighted to have been at last introduced to a real member of the theatrical profession a bonâ fide flesh and blood, silk-stocking'd and tinsel-rapier'd "pride of Astley's stage."
Genuine letters these, whether they be belles-lettres or not; by every mark and sign most human writings, whether they be holy Scriptures or not; the product of honest toil of brain and hand. Whatever more they are, these are bona fide books, of men of like passions and infirmities with ourselves. What is there in these books which has led Christendom to assign to them so high an honor?
But by the knots I am speaking of, may it please your reverences to believe, that I mean good, honest, devilish tight, hard knots, made bona fide, as Obadiah made his; in which there is no quibbling provision made by the duplication and return of the two ends of the strings thro' the annulus or noose made by the second implication of them to get them slipp'd and undone by.
It is something to read the real, bona fide signs-manual of such fellows as William of Orange, Count Egmont, Alexander Farnese, Philip II., Cardinal Granvelle, and the rest of them. It gives a 'realizing sense, as the Americans have it. . . . There are not many public resources of amusement in this place, if we wanted them, which we don't.

I ought to have known you better give me your hand, old boy, and wish me joy, for with you aiding and abetting she is mine to-morrow morning." I wrung his hand heartily congratulating myself, meanwhile, how happily I had got out of my scrape; as I now, for the first time, perceived that Curzon was bona fide in earnest. "So, you will stand by me, Hal," said he. "Of course.
Josephus, a wise friend and companion of my youth, wrote me these details. He said that Ieshua disappeared after his mad attempt to take Jerusalem by storm, riding as is depicted the Bona Dea on the back of a humble animal.
Already one-half of the unfortunate minister's prophecy had come true; the other half was soon to be fulfilled. For a few months Bona rejoiced in her freedom from the cares of state, and left all to Lodovico, "who could do her no greater pleasure than not to speak of these things," says Commines.
On the way he was reinforced by some six thousand cavalry of the wild tribes of the hinterland, then as ever ready to join in a fray with promise of booty: doubly ready in this case, as it was to harass so unpopular a tyrant as Hamid. Passing through Constantine and Bona, he continued to march towards Tunis, his following augmenting as he proceeded, and adding to his forces ten light field-guns.
