"According to the account of the pirate, there could not have been much less than thirty thousand dollars, and nearly all of it in good doubloons of the coin of the kingsdoubloons that will weigh their full sixteens to the pounday, and to spare!"

But in Italy, towards the end of the thirteenth century, it had already become a favourite mode of expression; and some forty years later, in a manuscript treatise on the Poetica Volgare (written in 1332 by a Judge in Padua), sixteen different forms of sonnet were enumerated as then in current use.

Lord Beaconsfield's friends very nearly succeeded in their attempt at murder, after all, for a dangerous attack of erysipelas set in, in the injured arm, and confined Mr. Bradlaugh to his room for sixteen days.

A couple of young kids, a girl of fourteen, and a boy of sixteen who asked you easy questions about the army till you found yourself patronising him.

The girl was shabby and sixteen; the boy pale, voluble, smiling.

This hidden purpose she carried with her, when, at the age of sixteen, she quitted the convent with bitter regret, fearing the strange world, fearing a conventional marriage, and looking back to the pleasant restraints of tutelage, whose thorn hedges are always in blossom when we view them from the dusty ways and traffic of real, responsible life.

At the same period she built her walls, and closed their circuit with the sixteen gates that showed she loved magnificence combined with strength.

Caesar remedied all this by adopting a new system of months, which should give three hundred and sixty-five days to the year for three years, and three hundred and sixty-six for the fourth; and so exact was the system which he thus introduced, that it went on unchanged for sixteen centuries.

But according to what they tell me, this individual with her spy-information brought about the torpedoing of sixteen vessels....

She was then sixteen.

Oh for the day We gallop away To the curate's cottage, Gretna Green; Side by side, Groom and bride, Happy twenty and sweet sixteen!

Early's force of from fifteen to sixteen thousand men was, of course, in no way strong enough to be an army of invasion.

In this Congress, there were sixteen of the thirty-nine fathers who framed the original Constitution.

The true number of those of the "thirty-nine" whom I have shown to have acted upon the question, which, by the text, they understood better than we, is twenty-three, leaving sixteen not shown to have acted upon it in anyway.

The remaining sixteen of the "thirty-nine," so far as I have discovered, have left no record of their understanding upon the direct question of federal control of slavery in the federal territories.

If we should look into their acts and declarations on those other phases, as the foreign slave trade, and the morality and policy of slavery generally, it would appear to us that on the direct question of federal control of slavery in federal territories, the sixteen, if they had acted at all, would probably have acted just as the twenty-three did.

Among that sixteen were several of the most noted anti-slavery men of those timesas Dr. Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and Gouverneur Morriswhile there was not one now known to have been otherwise, unless it may be John Rutledge, of South Carolina.

The seventy-six members of that Congress, including sixteen of the framers of the original Constitution, as before stated, were pre-eminently our fathers who framed that part of "the Government under which we live," which is now claimed as forbidding the Federal Government to control slavery in the federal territories.

Of these, ten did not attend the Convention, and sixteen did not sign the Constitution.

Of these sixteen, six refused to sign, and published their reasons for so refusing, viz.:

[Footnote 13:The "sixteen" represented these States: Langdon and Oilman, New Hampshire; Sherman and Johnson, Connecticut; Morris, Fitzsimmons, and Clymer, Pennsylvania; King, Massachusetts; Paterson, New Jersey; Few and Baldwin, Georgia; Bassett and Read, Delaware; Butler, South Carolina; Carroll, Maryland; and Madison, Virginia]
