Excerpt from The Canadian Accountant: A Practical System of Book-Keeping Containing a Complete Elucidation of the Science of Accounts by the Latest and Most Approved Methods, Business Correspondence, Mercantile Forms, and Other Valuable Information; Designed for the Use of Counting House, Bus

The study and practice of Book-keeping are now recognized not only as a Science but equally so as an Art, and, while the science remains permanent, the art is almost as variable as the different methods of conducting business. They are intimately connected with the principles upon which most men have to depend for success in the business of life, and appeal strongly to the judgment of all as essentially necessary in the education of the people.

No sensible man now disputes their paramount importance. The time has long since gone by when a hap-hazard system of recording business transactions will answer the require ments of men engaged in trade and commerce. The magnitude and variety of these engage ments are such that no dependence upon mere memoranda, or an unsystematic method of keeping accounts, will enable an individual to calculate with accuracy his gains and losses, and so order his affairs that he may know at any time how he stands with his debtors and creditors. There must be a system, and that system must be reduced to an exact science, as invariable in its results as the problems of Euclid. Is such a thing possible in the theory and practice of Book-keeping It is possible, and its possibility is not only thoroughly esta blished in the commercial world, but it is made imperative in the qualification of those who expect to compete in the great struggle of business life. This view is now so universally acknowledged and acted upon, that attention is being called to the necessity that exists for a more thorough and practical course of business training even in our public schools.

In the present work the authors have aimed at a combination of the most practical modes of keeping accounts, adapted to various departments of business, and have brought to bear upon it the experience gained as practical accountants, in connection with some of the most extensive business houses, joint stock companies, and manufacturing concerns in Canada, and as teachers Of the subject for many years in the largest and most successful Business College in the Dominion.
