Excerpt from Primer of Book-Keeping

The author's First Lessons in Book-keeping having been very widely adopted in high-class schools and colleges, it is thought that a cheaper series on the same plan would be welcome in many schools where economy has to be considered.

This Primer of Book-keeping is not a mere abridgment of First Lessons. It has been almost entirely re-written, and contains several new features.

Its object is to assist and encourage the intelligent study of the principles of account-keeping.

The practice of the art is best learnt afterwards. The study of the Theory should be taught at school, and taught to every boy and girl, not only on account of its intrinsic importance, but because, if handled properly, it can be, and ought to be, an instrument of no mean educational value.
