By J. SLATHR LEAw its. Price Twelve Dollars. FROM THE PREFACE. The system of accounts presented in this book is the result of many years’ close observation and sractical experience, and is what may be termed an interlocking system, under which each and every sccount in a factory is brought into line monthly, and a general balance of the whole effected. It will be ‘en from an inspection of the diagrams A and B that the system is not only capable of diagrammatic proof, ind may, therefore, be relied upon as being complete, but that it may be expanded or contracted as circum- inces May require.
