Abstract
Originally published by: Harper & Brothers; This little book is not a treatise on book-keeping. It is less, and it is more. Far less, because it treats of but one of many thousand applications of that useful art; and more, because, beginning with the very simplest exposition of general principles, it endeavors to unfold, as pleasantly as may be, a science of accountancy, and to indicate its relations, in the sphere of domestic economy, to finance, administration, and the other sciences of social life. In view of the present unsatisfactory condition of instruction in domestic accountancy, it has been thought well to employ, as far as possible, the historical method of teaching. The story form, it is hoped, will lend interest to the exploration of the field and to the laying down of the bases upon which the accountancy of the house is built. Very little has been as yet written upon this important subject of household accounting. Especially is this true of books in our own language. To a few Italian, German, and French writers, however, a general acknowledgment is here due for material assistance in the effort to produce a manual of domestic money matters which may prove of practical utility in the administration of the modern home.
