It is added that the difference between the buying and felling price, lofs deducted, 2081. 8s., is the 

 produce of the land, or 101. 8s. per acre, which is very great indeed, and fhows that this land would 

 let at 51. 4s. an acre, supposing this year to be an average one. This difference of rent would deducfc 

 441. from the profit of 871. and leave 431.J which, with 211. charged, makes 64l. intereft on theyear s 

 advance of 5461. or 11 j per cent.
