Synopsis
Excerpt from Book-Keeping and Accounts: A Text-Book for Students
It would be a matter of regret to the author if this treatise should come to be regarded merely as an aid to the successful passing in examinations. It is hoped that it may be found to possess real educative value, especially in the elucidation of those preliminary stages through which all book-keeping transactions must pass before their final destination is reached. The principles and details which underlie and govern these preliminaries are of vital importance to the student who is to enter commercial life.
It becomes increasingly evident from the examination work of the present day that many students have acquired knowledge for examination purposes in a scrappy and ill-digested form, the eagerness to obtain examination certificates having apparently predominated over the far more important necessity of laying sound foundations for future success in life.
The limited leisure at the disposal of the author would have greatly delayed the accomplishment of the Work without the able and loyal assistance rendered by Mr. Stanley G. Smith, Final Prizeman, Institute of Chartered Accountants, a former pupil of the author's.
