Addition to Talk of Annuity Note Currency.
The two Series's or Scales here given, with their
respective halves and doubles se are will be found to be the only
convenient Series's for a currency on which daily
interest is to be computed. The sum series, having the
£12:16d Note for its standard Note, giving for the rate
of annual yearly interest £2:19d:4-3/4; @ £3, being a trifle less than any intermediate must it woul per
Cent: nearly the series, having the £16 Note for its standard
Note, giving, for the rate of yearly interest
£2:7:6d1/4; being a trifle more than 2-3/8 per

By doubling making<add>altering</add> the principal or purchase-money

being a trifle less than 1-1/2 per Cent.
If, instead of being reduced by an half Pres
