 Iperceive in late No. of the National Inelligencer query, tWhat would be the amount of one cent at compound interest, put out at the commencement of the Christian era 2" The following note from Dr. Price will answer it near enough orany very practical purpose: " One penny put Saviour's birth ut per cent compound interest, would before this time (l794) have increased greater than would be contained in too Hundred millions of earth all solid gold. But put out at simple interest, it would have amounted to no more than seDen stidiags and sir- pence." Observation on the importance of the Amer ican Revolution, page 10. A. C;
