Présentation de l'éditeur
From this point of view the shorter the means adopted to secure a result the better Bookkeeping to-day is not what it was fifty or a hundred years ago, as it has been affected by the general desire to shorten labour The result is that, although good modern bookkeeping is much more efficient than the bookkeeping of a bygone age, yet the very brevity which is its advantage is apt to obscure the principles upon which it is founded. But though to the owner of a business the keeping of books is only a means to an end, yet to the bookkeeper or to the accountant, books are the tools with which he works, and he needs therefore to have complete familiarity with them a familiarity which can only be attained when he has so grasped the principle on which they are kept as to be able to apply it to every conceivable transaction.
