ment; if that be one year or more from the time the in terest commenced, add it to the principal, and deduct the payment from the sum total. If there be after payments made, compute the interest on the balance due to the next payment, and then deduct the payment as above; and in like manner from one payment to another, till all the payments are absorbed; provided the time between one payment and another be one year or more. But if any payment be made before one year's interest hath accrued, then compute the interest on the principal sum due on the obligation for one year, add it to the principal, and compute the interest on the sum paid, from the time it was paid, up to the end of the year; add it to the sum paid, and deduct that sum from the principal and interest added as above.*

"If any payments be made of a less sum than the interest arisen at the time of such payment, no interest in to be computed but only on the principal sum for any period." Kirby's Reports, page 49.

RULE II.

Established by the Courts of Law in Massachusetts for computing interest on notes, &c. on which partial payments have been endorsed.

"Compute the interest on the principal sum, from the time when the interest commenced to the first time when a payment was made, which exceeds either alone or in conjunction with the preceding payment (if any) the interest at that time due: add that interest to the principal, and from the sum subtract the payment made at that time, together with the preceding payment (if any) and the remainder forms a new principal; on which compute and subtract the payments as upon the first principal, and proceed in this manner to the time of final settlement

COMPOUND INTEREST BY DECIMALS.
RULE.

MULTIPLY the given principal continually by the amount of one pound, or one dollar, for one year, at the rate per cent. given, until the number of multiplications are equal to the given number of years, and the product will be the amount required.

OR, In Table I. Appendix, find the amount of one dollar, or one pound, for the given number of years, which multiply by the given principal, and it will give the amount as before.
