It any Perfon should doubt that Annuities are granted on fueh terms, by referring to the Enrolment office, he will find they are generally granted for 6,7, 8, or 9 years purchafe, in which cafe they pay from 161. 135 4d. to sIL as. per cent. and even come times at fsur years purcha'e, which is 2 5 per cent.; it may be effaced that ten years purchafe is (*onetimes given, this is rarely the cafe ; and if ten years purchafe is given, it is for an Annuity on three lives ; for which this Office could confequently to its maxi mum not give leis than twelve years purchafe, as no Infurance is required. To thole who purpofe to grant Annuities, it is thus proved the Society would be beneficial It is alto intended to relieve thole who have already granted them, by purchafing the affignment, and re leafing them front part of their annual payments, or give the over. plus to Charities.
