Sir—Seeing in your Paper of tit: ad infl. that
the National Debt was 451,699,9191. ; for rm
an.uftment I made the under calculations, which
at your fery ice, if you chute to infert it in any
of your ufeful and extenfive Papers.
I am your conflant Reader, &c. &c.
istii Jan. rBol.
Let 451,699,9 I 91.=-.to a, then will .I;kaL=to
43190399 guineas=b, ^6 of which will reach
;; inches. Let c=26 d=2s, then as c d:: :
tder.—_4436446t4 inches, which is 6538 miles, 3
full.,ngs, 34 poles, the length the debt would
roch. Suppofe a piece of ground was covered
with the above money, hew large mull it be ?
Extraft the fquare root of 6 and it will be 20741
guineas; rejed the fraftion, and put
2074.1. Then by the above Theorem—As c: d: :
r: de-c=19943 inches, i. e. 554, the fide of
the piece of ground, whofe area will be 63 acres,
and almoff 66 fquare rod of ground, the fize of the
piece it would cover.
Again as a guinea is to pars current at 5 dwts.
S gr. what will be the troy weight of the whole
debt ? As 1 : 5 dwts. 8 gr. : : 6 : 57064371072 grs.
=to f. And as one pound averdupoife is equal to
14 oz. t 1 dwts. 154. gr. troy it will be—As
t 4 os. ti dwts. 15; gr. t lb. : : 8152635
pounds averdupoife, which is 3639 ton. 1 t cwt.
1 qr. ts lb. the weight of the whole debt.
Now allow one ton for a waggon load (for fo
precious a load Should not be made too heavy),
3640 waggons would he required to carry the debt ;
and for the body of the carriage and two honks,
with a fufficient (pace between each, allow 5o feet,
the whole length of the cavalcade would be thirty
miles and a half.
