Abstract

The full title of David Young's book, "The Farmer's Account-Book of Expenditure and Produce for Each Day, Month, and Year" [Young, 1790] is unlikely to capture the attention of the casual reader. Historical Accounting Literature, [1975] describes the work as "a book published for the purpose of having accounts entered in it." This description, although accurate does not do full justice to Young's attempts to develop an effective farm management and accounting system.
