This volume, first published in 1808, is a compendium of formulas and theorems relating to interest, annuities, and insurance. The author intended it to furnish those engaged in finance with a comprehensive work that would quickly provide necessary information to resolve problems encountered in their profession. The subject of annuities, both immediate and deferred, is given ample treatment, and their values under different conditions are investigated methodically. The author takes pains to define the ideas and terms he uses, and includes detailed explanations and examples to illustrate his reasoning. This book will be of special interest to students of actuarial science, insurance mathematics, or the history of economic thought.

Excerpt from The Doctrine of Interest and Annuities, Vol. 2: Analytically Investigated and Explained; Together With Several Useful Tables
In the year 1727, Mr. Smart published his very valuable Tables of Interest and Annuities. They are the same as the tables at the end of the present work, and will be found not only of great and extensive use, but essentially necessary in the solution of the various cases connected with this subject. I have neither time nor inclination to calculate them anew, and therefore I give them to the world with all their imperfections on their head. I am happy, however, to observe, that after many years'
