Bock kuping-Thc teacher must uso
his discretion. There is much valuable
information in ssCrittend, II, and others,
but 1 hope some practical accountant
will give usa book avoiding the inter-
vcnine books between those of original
entry and the Lcdger-they are factor
les for waste Of time and production of
error. Even in commission business,
the closing of each sale in the s'account
sales book should be posted at once to
the Ledger, to credit of the various ac
counts there named, including all char
ges accounts, commission accounts, &C.,
to balance the accounts, previously
posted to debit Of the purchasing par
ties from the sale book Thus may the
system be simpli6ed, and the distin-
guished ability Of some book keepers, to
puzzle juries by s'scientific entries, be
with. A mere memoranda
Of transaction, necessarily exhibits the
proper account, debit and credit, 10
which it should be placedoin Ledger,
without any intervening book. baaia
