EXAMPLE I.
Required, the intereft of 99l 19s 11d for 1 year 7 months and 29 days,
Rule, Multiply the fum by the proportional for the time, the product is the intereft.
NB. Integers and decimals muft be feparated by a point.
Principal.
{Pounds being integers :::::::::: 99l 19s 11d
being parts by the money table, * is :::
,9958}
{line}99,9958
Time.

Now becaufe there are 4 places of decimals in the miulti-plicand, and 4 more in the multiplier, 8 figures are fepa-rated by a point from the right hand, the one remaining being integer, is 9l : 0s : 0d and becaufe the table extends to 4 places of figures only, feen in the money table, for 4 decimals next integer, viz. ,9695 rejecting the reft, the neareft is ,9692 : : : : againft which is : : : : 0l 19s 7d

Intereft required : : : 9l 19s 7d
EXAMPLE II.
What is the intereft of 0l 19s 6d for 16 years.
Againft 19s 6d in the money table is ,975
Againft 16 years in the intereft table is ,96
{line}
Product ,93600
Neareft to which in the money table is ,9375,
anfwering to 18s. 9d.
EXAMPLE III.
Required the intereft of 555l. for 4 years 2 months.
Note, The proportional here is 1/4 part of the principal,
but fee the work,
Pounds : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : 555l.
Againft 4 years 2 months : : : : is ,25

Product 138,75.
Againft ,75---is 15s.
Anfwer 138l 15s 0d.
EXAM
* The Money Table referred to will be in our next.Transcription Notes:
Not sure how to format this table
There is a word on the right page following "requires the interest of"... that is hard to transcribe

Re: the table, it looks like there are two data tables with a vertical line break in-between them. In this space, there is a handwritten note (signature and attestation?).
Re: "requires the interest of", it looks like the string of text is numbers followed by units, 99l, 19s 11d.
