Letters to Malthus, p. 96; and see the frequently quoted passage where he complains that Malthus has taken his book as more 'practical' than he had intended it to be, and speaks of his method of imagining 'strong cases. Ibid. p. 167. Works, p. 40 n. Works, p. 131. Letters to Malthus, p. 98. Ibid. p. 52. There is, indeed, a difficulty which I happily need not discuss.
Under the Flavians, from 69 to 96, or roughly, during the last quarter, came the Silver Age, the second and last great day of Latin literature: with several Spanish and some Italian names, foam of the Crest-Wave, these latter, as it passed over from Spain to the East.
Bleeding and torn they had been bundled unceremoniously into a train, herded like cattle, and had been four days and nights travelling from the battlefield to Sennelager. During these 96 hours they had tasted neither food nor water!

Archimedes, however, would only admit that the mechanical method is useful for finding results; he did not consider them proved until they were established geometrically. This he does by inscribing and circumscribing regular polygons of 96 sides and calculating approximately their respective perimeters.
The wind dries up every thing, and when at its greatest strength is hot, and raises clouds of dust. The general temperature during the day rises above 96 Deg.: then showers begin to fall; and if the ground is but once well soaked with a good day's rain, the change produced is marvelous.
