Dr. 2 (To cash wail for my rote, to D. Mason, 48 00 The foregoing example of a Day Book, may sutire to give a good idea

of the way in which it is proper to make the original entries of all debt and credit articles. Another small book should next be prepared, according to the following form, fermed the book of Accounts, or Leger. Into this book must be positd the whole contents of the Day Book ; care being taken that every article be carried to its corresponding title; the debt amounts to be oniered in the left, and the credit in the right hand page. Thus, should it at any time be required to know the state of an account, it will only be necesya. y to sum up the two columns, and to subtract the smaller amount from the greater, the remainder will be the balance.

When an article is posted from the Day Book into the Leger, it will be proper, opposite the article, to note the same in the margin of the Day Book, by writing the word Entered, or making two parallel strokes with the pen; to which should be added the figure denoting the page in the Leger, where the account is.

On a blank page at the beginning, or end of the Leger, an alphabetical trader should be written, containing the naines of every person with whom you have accolta, in the Leger, with the rumbor of the page where there ac voluts me.
