Previous owner's name to front free end-paper. Internally with occassional soiling. (2 blank leaves), 148, (2), (3 blank leaves) pp.
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. The modern practice of double entry is clearly exemplified by Turner, and a very trifling revision would render [the present work] one of best elementary treatises on merchants accounts extant"" (Foster, The Origin and Progress of Book-keeping).
