(► !! C3-OOI3WIISr'S Improved Book-keeping and Business Manual, Revised and Enlarged Edition. BY J. H. GOODWIN. Forty-first Thousand. The author of this book has sought among bookkeepers of all degrees of ability and business men in various kinds of business for points which would be likely to prove of value either to a bookkeeper or to a business man. In these interviews he has been permitted to inspect the books of some of the largest business houses of the country, and to learn the methods employed by them. The work therefore em¬ bodies not only the results of his own experience, but that of at least a hundred other bookkeepers of the highest standing in the profession, from whom there have been received and are here given a great variety of valuable points. A JFEW OF THE IMFOBTANT MATTERS CONSIDERED ARE AS FOLLOWS: ADVANCED DOXJBIiE ENTRY. Describing the peculiarities of the most advanced systenis of the present day, and contrasting them with those of antiquated systems. In this article it is shown how a set of books may be kept by Double Entry with an increase in labor of only three per cent. beyond that required for the keeping of them by Single Entry. The principles of Single Entry are described, and the ob¬ jections to that method of keeping books set forth.
