well-recommended

Young was well recommended and had the look of an able stout seaman: he however fell short of what his appearance promised.

I have only to add that he is in good esteem here, and is well recommended, to which I am persuaded he will do justice.

To some few of those, who were well recommended, we have given letters of introduction.

Intelligence commands a premium in this department, and a bright, well recommended lad will generally be taken on trial.

We agreed on this verbally, and he promised me to send it to Bordeaux well recommended.
