5. The fifth Column is alfo proper in the following Cafe, 
viz if it be demanded, what Eftatc in reverfion, after a certa’n 
number of Years, any Sum in Hand will Purchafe; thefirft 
ftep being to find the Amount of that Sum to the time the Re- 
verfion commences, its had in this Column.

ney, according to tbecommonMcthod of Compound Intereft, 
but being computed with that extraordinary rigor as has been 
faid, (except iome fmall allowance for the lols of time, by 
being done Yearly,) ’tis hardly fuitable to any Cafe. 
Other Cafes might be enumerated, to which the foregoing 
Theorems might be equitably apply’xl ; befides fuch extraor-

Rent is firft apply’d to difeharge the Arrear of Intereft ; and 
then the remainder of every Half-Year’s Rent, after deducing 
the fame Half- v^arq Intereft. is apply’d towards the Diicharge
