From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  RECOMMENDATION. The giving to a person a favorable character of another. 
       2. When the party giving the character has acted in good faith, he is 
  not responsible for the injury which a third person, to whom such 
  recommendation was given, may have, sustained in consequence of it, although 
  he was mistaken. 
       3. But when the recommendation is knowingly untrue, and an injury is 
  sustained, the party recommending is civilly responsible for damages; 3 T. 
  R. 51; 7 Cranch, 69; 14 Wend. 126; 7 Wend. 1; 6 Penn. St. R. 310 whether it 
  was done merely for the purpose of benefitting the party recommended, or the 
  party who gives the recommendation. 
       4. And in case the party recommended was a debtor to the one 
  recommending, and it was agreed prior to the transaction, that the former 
  should, out of the property to be obtained by the recommendation, be paid; 
  or in case of any other species of collusion, to cheat the person to whom 
  the credit is given, they may both be criminally prosecuted for the 
  conspiracy. Vide Character, and Fell on Guar. ch. 8; 6 Johns. R. 181; 1
