Mr. Goodwin’s treatise on Bookkeeping is an entirely new departure from all former methods of self-instruction and one which can be studied systematically and alone by the student with quick and permanent results, or taken up in leisure moments with an absolute certainty of acquiring the science in a very short time and with little effort. The book is both a marvel of skill and simplicity. Every feature and every detail leading to the climax of scientific perfection are so thoroughly complete in this logical procedure and the analysis so thorough and deftly made that the self-teaching student is led by almost imperceptible, but sure and certain steps to the basic principles of the science, which the author in a most comprehensive and lucid style lays bare to intelligence of, even the most mediocre order.

The work is the most masterly exposition of the scientific principles of Bookkeeping and their practical application which has ever appeared in the English language, and it should be in the hands of every school boy or girl, every clerk, farmer, teacher and business or professional man; for a knowledge of Bookkeeping, even though it may not be followed as a profession, is a necessity felt by every person in business life and a recognized prime factor of business success.

In addition to a very simple yet elaborate explanation in detail of the systems of both single and double entry Bookkeeping, beginning with the initial transactions and leading the student along to the culminating exhibit of the balance sheet, the work contains a glossary of all the commercial terms employed in the business world, together with accounts in illustration, exercises for practice and one set of books completely written up.
