The engine was taken to the extremity of the stage, the fire-box was filled with coke, the fire lighted, and the steam raised until it lifted the safety-valve loaded to a pressure of 50 pounds to the square inch. This proceeding occupied fifty-seven minutes.
I then took the liberty of sitting down beside him, and, apologising for my intrusion on his notice, I said it was just fifty-seven years since I had last seen him!

I therefore call upon him to demonstrate his humility and self-renunciation, and effectually mortify the natural man, by washing himself in this ample vessel provided for the purpose" "Wash myself!" exclaimed Pacyhmius, with a vivacity of which he had previously shown no token.

One hundred and fifty-seven species have been recorded as attacking insects, one hundred species attack birds, fifty-two reptiles, eighty crustaceans, twenty-two fish, and so through the list.

"Number fifty-seven," he said. The old skipper focussed a pair of binoculars and steadied them against a stay of the funnel. "Zere," he said, and pointed at a solitary sail to the West of its fellows. "Heem! You see?" Barraclough nodded. "Diamond's a reliable chap. Always as good as his word. How long shall we be?" "Quarter hour ten minit."
A similar conclusion was reached by J. Cassini in 1738, from a comparison of his own observations with those made at Cayenne by Richer in 1672; and Tobias Mayer drew up in 1756 a list showing the direction and amount of about fifty-seven proper motions, founded on star-places determined by Olaus Römer fifty years previously.
In the solitude of Coppet, where she died at fifty-seven, during the last and darkest days of the Revolution, perhaps she realized in the tireless devotion of her husband and the loving care of Mme. de Stael the repose of heart which the brilliant world of Paris never gave her.
