He had come to a city where five sixths of the inhabitants were of the reformed religion, and he did not, therefore, think it judicious to attempt violently the suppression of their worship.
His blockade had brought immediate and heavy distress upon many English workmen and their families. That had been April 19, 1861. By September, five sixths of the Lancashire cotton-spinners were out of work, or working half time. Their starvation and that of their wives and children could be stemmed by charity alone. I have talked with people who saw those thousands in their suffering.
The Pope had not only anathematized the heretical sovereign, but had condemned to eternal flames all who should maintain his cause. Henry had no objection to Catholicism. It was the religion of five sixths of his subjects. He was now anxious to give his adherence to that faith, could he contrive some way to do it with decency. He issued many decrees to conciliate the Romanists.
There is something very uncommon, spiritual, heavenly, about the first page of that Impromptu very little of the earth, earthy. The second page is in sharp contrast to the first, it comes right down to the hard, everyday business of life it is full of harsh, sharp tones. Well, the idea of that first page we get in this study in sixths.
The oxidations at the cells are, therefore, under such control that the quantity of kinetic energy supplied to the body as a whole, and to the different organs, is proportional to the work that is done. *Animal Heat and Motion.*—Most of the body’s energy is expended as heat in keeping warm. It is estimated that as much as five sixths of the whole amount is used in this way.
For the astronomers Ptolemy Euergetes placed in the Square Porch an equinoctial and a solstitial armil, the graduated limbs of these instruments being divided into degrees and sixths. There were in the observatory stone quadrants, the precursors of our mural quadrants. On the floor a meridian line was drawn for the adjustment of the instruments. There were also astrolabes and dioptras.
Under the stimulus, everything came easy; he mastered a passage of bound sixths that had baffled him for days. And in this elated frame of mind, there was something almost pleasurable in the pang with which he would become conscious of a shadow in the background, a spot on his sun to make him unhappy. Unhappy? no: it gave a zest to his goings out and comings-in.
The aboriginal inhabitants, more than five sixths of the population, had no more interest in the matter than the swine or the poultry; or, if they had an interest, it was for their interest that the caste which domineered over them should not be emancipated from all external control.
Green," said Allan, "how much of all this trouble do you suppose is really about the negro? I was brought up to wish that Virginia had never held a slave." "So were most of us. You don't hold any." "No." "No more I don't. No more does Tom Watts. Nor Anderson West. Nor the Taylors. Nor five sixths of the farming folk about here. Nor seven eighths of the townspeople.
In this étude he doubled the number of sixths in each measure; the effect was wonderful and beautiful. The hand must be well arched, the end fingers firm and strong, and the touch very pressing, clinging, and grasping. You always want to cling whenever there is any chance for clinging in piano playing.
