DERIVATION OF THE WORD Cash"
There can be- but little doubt, that the
word cash is derived from The Italian
casa The chest in which Italian mer
chants kept their money, as they do at
the present time the Spapia'ds IL their
GAIA, and the Portuguese in their cara
and the French in the caisse.
The application of The word cash to
money is altogether English. it not,
having corresponding term in any
other European language.
Cash having fcen so inconsiderably
adopted instead Of CASA lchest, J entries

booL are made in English counting
houses in this unmeaniug way Cash
Dr. and Cash Cr.;;" whereas the
chest, and not the morey. is Dr. for
what n put into it, and Or. for what is
taken out.
Great mischief bas too often arisen,
as is well known in bankrupt courts,
from The misuse Of TIE work cash, in
which large Deficiencies often appear
and which would no, BIZ the case iffhe
word chest were used as it ought to be.
Instead of The cash account in the led
ger. it should be chest account but
we have much to learn in England
regarding mercantile book keeping.
