Rare first edition of Turner's work on double-entry bookkeeping constituting one of the earliest work on bookkeeping printed in America (The earliest being from 1789)""It is singular that this little work should have been suffered to sink into oblivion. It contains much new and useful information"" it is written with clearness and precision, and better adapted to the purposs of instruction than any similar work which have appeared in the United States since 1800.
