BooIIreepiug and RELIGION.


It is not perhaps generally understood
that bookkeeping had its origin with piOus
monk by the name of Fra, Lucas Do Burgo.
he published his Italian treatise at Venice,
Italy, 1894. In it he had all the germs and
principles of the system in use at the pres
time. He made use OF three books, which
he denominated the Memorable the Giornale
snd the QHademo-Waste- book, Journal and
Ledger.
Perhaps some of our modern bOokkeepers
might wish to pattern after the old monk.
and so we give a sample of the waste book,
wich is as follows:
4" Ia tIe name Of God, on the sth day Of
June, 14s4. Here follows the inventory of
me, A. B. of the street of the Holy Apostle,
written with my own hand, of all my goods,
movable or immoveable, debts, credits, &C.,
which possess in the world"
The profession of q merchant in those
days was one of great respect, and to swear
"by the faith of true merchant was con-
sidered one Of the most solemn that could be
made" De BurgO, and others Of his time,
regarded the qualifications of the business
man, second scarcely to any other profession,
so much so, it was common saying: "That
it required more points to make good mer-
chant than TO make good doctor Of laws"
It is now being more generally believed
that the man of business should be educa-
ted, and because of this impression the Ner-
camille College has sprung up in this coun-
try. It is distinct school, and sal generii
in its purposes and plans. It is the only
school extant where the branches taught
are purely practical and reduceable at once
A few months only are required to qualify
q young man Of ordinary talent, to step q
once into the business arena where fn'
salary awaits him.
As in the prfessions of law, divinity, an'
medicine, the best educated, other thing
being equal, take the most conspicuous ant
lucrative positions; SO in the mercantil
calling it is becoming indispensably neces
Sary that young man have commercia

and soon stand at the head of wealth.
