annuities were objects of speculative interest.
Capitalists sent agents all over the country to
hunt up hale old men, on whose lives their
principals Immediately bought annuities, often
to large amounts. Quiet country places were
astounded at the sudden attention received
from utter strangers by poor cd men who had
for years been living neglected and friendless.
Physicians were procured for them when they
were ill the clergymen of their parish had Or
ders to supply them with food of good quality !;
they ere comfortably clothed, and all by
some persons who generously preferred to re-
main unknown And all this was the work of
annuity mongers, among whom were to be
