Thus, if a rent of 100/. was estimated in 1814, 

 upon the supposition that the price of wheat was 

 to remain for the ensuing seven years at 80$. per 

 quarter, the tenant would at the end of that 

 term have incurred a loss of about 8 per cent, 

 upon the gross returns of the farm in the whole 

 period ; and as these would, at 400/. for one year, 

 have amounted to 2800/. in the seven years, the 

 whole loss would amount to 224/. ; a sum nearly 

 equal to the entire rent in 2| years out of the 

 seven years, to which the calculation applies.
