The student should be required to complete posting the above accounts from the Day-Book.

To each Ledger there is an Alphabet, or Index of Names, consisting of a small book with the letters of the alphabet pasted upon the leaves, so that each man's name can be readily found by turning to the leaf marked by the first letter of his sir-name.

Every person, engaged in business, should take an Inven-
tory of his notes and accounts, his stock in trade, and other
property, and of the debts owed by him, once or twice a
year. By comparing this with former Inventories, he will
know his gain or loss, from time to time.
