Synopsis

Excerpt from The Arithmetic of Annuities and Life Assurance, or Compound Interest Simplified: Explaining the Value of Annuities Certain, or Contingent on One or Two Lives, and the Values of Assurances in Single and Annual Payments

The student will find his labour vastly abridged, and his progress greatly accelerated, by having recourse to the aid of logarithms. Let him, if inexperienced in their use, devote but one or two weeks to the study of Babbage's Logarithms, and he will be astonished and pleased at the facility with which, by their assistance, he may accomplish the most lengthened and tedious calculation.

In conclusion, a hope is entertained that these pages may assist to diffuse a practical knowledge of a subject which is more or less beneficial and interesting to all.
