AN ANCIENT SCIENCE.

q A~ccountancy, which Is the science of
systematizing business, has a history
that runs back at least 1000 years.
Very early In the development Of ma
tions 1t was found that in commerce,
as well as in the affairs Of the state,
systematic and careful account-keeping
were Indispensable. These systems were
at first crude and laborious, but they
at least kept the finances OF the ma
ton and the marts Of trade from being
chaotic.
The invention of double-entry book
keeping early In the fifteenth century,
by the merchants and bankers OF
rope an invaluable trade instrument,
and one without which the great com
mercial enterprises of the later CEN
turtles could hardly have existed. And
so it has been on down to the present
time: there has been a parallel progress
between the accom- lishments of COM
meroe and the science OF accounting,
and 1t Is known to every man In bust
ness that the former could not con-
tinue without the latter. Even the most
unbusiness-like people know this much,
and we can hardly imagine anyone silly
enough to attempt to carry on any kind
OF a business enterprise without keep
ing books.
