Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Practical System of Book-Keeping by Single and Double Entry: Containing Forms of Books and Practical Exercises, Adapted to the Use of the Farmer, Mechanic, Merchant, and Professional Man
Every person, engaged in business for himself, should keep a 'book of some kind in which to record all his business transactions. The day-laborer, the farmer, and the mechanic, should keep an account with every person with whom they deal. N 0 one should trust tr actions of a pecuniary nature to his memory alone.
The merchant, who is incompetent to keep a full and accurate record of his business transactions, or neglects to do it, must abandon all claims to the confidence which he might desire others to repose in him; all hope of success in the accumulation of property; and forego all peace of mind, which he might otherwise enjoy in the prosecution of his business.
