this most useful and beautiful science of much of its
time hOHored mysteries, made such by Gr6trary and
iRJaliiGIe rules forms false notions
and hence enables the student TO acquire correct
ito MS of accounts embodied i'll actual practice.
THE INITIATORY COURE

cards classified somewhat the variety of trans
actions. II aims to develop the first principles and
philosophy of Accounts, rather Ihan routine

Judgment OF the stutent, who studies with the view
of apprehending and arriving at results and push
his Investigations with much greater confidence
pleasure and Independence.
