[Writing from her sickbed] "Pray tell me about the trans-bedpost regions -- my whole concern at present is the cis-bedpost -- a very narrow domain, likely to contract one's views." -- Caroline Cornwallis (b. 1786, d. 1858-01-08), letter to David Power, 1844-01-14 [thanks to @tjathurman for pointing out this example of this example of casual use of 'cis-' and 'trans-' in English]
