Excerpt from A Treatise on Business Practice: Or How Business Is Done The author claims that there is nothing in this book which should not be familiar to every such person. There are also many facts contained herein which cannot, from the nature of things, be incorporated in a series of transactions intended to illustrate business practice. These things the instructor may intend to point out incidentally, but without some regular time being set apart for them, and some previous study of the question being required, the opportunity will often pass and the student go uninstructed. Further experience may suggest some changes in the plan, and the addition of other matter, or a more extended treatment of some topics treated herein. To this end, criticisms and suggest ions are solicited, that future editions may be better suited to the wants of all.
