The art of book-keeping, made easy to the young, and the unexperienced, by forms. Adapted to the immediate concerns of persons in the following stations of life, viz. School-boys, apprentices, and servants who would keep an account of their disbursements of any kind. Stewards, or any other persons, who would keep a regular account of their affairs, though they be not immediately concerned in trade. Shopkeepers and such like, as are concerned in trade, and would conduct their accounts after the most regular method. These forms are so contrived, as that by givin at first, examples the most familiar and easy to be understood, a thorough knowledge of the whole art may be attained to afterwards; the whole being founded upon the plan, and designed as an introduction to the study and practice of a larger work, intituled, a Complete System of book-keeping after the Italian method, &c. Calculated for the use of such persons of both sexes, as would be instructed in so necessary an art. By John L
