A Practical System of Book-Keeping by Single and Double Entry
Excerpt from A Practical System of Book-Keeping by Single and Double Entry
Heretofore Book-keeping has rarely been studied except by young men who have expected to engage in mercantile pursuits. But if it was understood and practiced by women as well as by men, it would in many cases (and very properly, too,) ren der them more frugal in their personal and domestic expenses; prevent vast accumulations of indebtedness; diminish greatly the number of bankruptcies in the country; and secure to families generally the benefits resulting from living within their means. It would, moreover, exert a healthful influence upon the mind, and afi'ord rational employment for many upon whom time hangs heavily, or is worse than thrown away in idleness and thoughtless dissipation.
