Excerpt from The Accounts of Trustees, Liquidators, and Receivers Without aiming at giving an exhaustive account of the manner in which each separate business is conducted, the technical points in connection with each industry will receive as much attention as is necessary in order fully to elucidate the system of accounts advocated, while each volume will be the work of one who has made that particular class of accounts more or less a speciality. It is Obvious, however, that to enable the necessary ground to be covered in the space available, it is incumbent to assume upon the part of the reader a certain knowledge of general bookkeeping. The extent of the know ledge assumed will vary according to the nature of the class of accounts considered. For example, in the volumes, on Bank Accounts and Shipping Accounts, a thorough acquaintance with ordinary double-entry bookkeeping is not unnaturally assumed; but in the case, for instance, of Auctioneers' Accounts, Domestic Tradesmen's Accounts, and other similar volumes, such explanations are included as will enable the ordinarily intelligent reader fully to grasp the methods described, even although his knowledge of bookkeeping may be of an elementary description. These explanations are, doubt less, superfluous as far as accountants are concerned, but are necessary to make the volumes of value to the majority of those.
