Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on Senile and Chronic Diseases Les Lecons "Sur les Maladies des Vieillards et les Maladies Chroniques," commencees a une epoque de la vie ou l'horizon ne parait pas encore limite, avaient ete concues sur un plan tres vaste; il ne s'agisssait, en effet, de rien moins que de remanier, a le lumiere d'observations personnelles, l'histoire de ces affections nombreuses et variees qui ne se rencontrent et ne s'etudient gueres que d'une facon incidente, dans les hopitaux ordinaires, taudis qu'elles se montrent, au contraire, a profusion dans les hospices, en particulier dans ce grand asile qu'on appelle la Salpetriere. Mais des difficultes tres serieuses et qui n'avaient pas ete suffisamment prevues, devaient naturellement surgir bientot. Le champ neuropathologique n'etait pas en ce temps la, ouvert a tous comme il l'est aujourd hui, et sillonne sur presque tous les points de larges voies qui en rendent le parcours relativement facile. Pour penetrer dans ce domaine et apprendre a s'y orienter il fallut se livrer alors a une serie d'etudes qui exigerent beaucoup de temps. Cependant les materiaux recueillis, chemin faisant, pendant cette periode de recherches, s'etaient accumules en grand nombre, si bien qu'il parut indispensable, a un moment donne, de les coordonner dans un ouvrage a part. Ceci expliquera pourquoi le present volume est reste, et restera sans doute toujours inacheve. Je tiens a declarer qu'en l'admettant a figurer tel qu'il est, et malgre tout ce qui lui manque, dans se collection, la Societe de Sydenham lui a fait, a mon avis, un tres grand honneur. Je tiens egalement a remercier sincerement Mr. W. S. Tuke, d'avoir bien voulu, sous le forme d'une traduction a la fois elegante et fidele, le presenter a l'appreciation de mes confreres anglais auxquels, depuis longtemps deja, tant de liens de sympathie m'attachment et dont je viens, une fois de plus, invoquer l'acceuil bienveillant.

Controlling Accounts.--The addition of special columns in books of original entry makes possible the keeping of Controlling Accounts. The most common examples of such accounts are Accounts Receivable account and Accounts Payable account. These summary accounts, respectively, displace individual customers' and creditors' accounts in the Ledger. The customers' accounts are then segregated in another book called the Sales Ledger or Customers' Ledger, while the creditors' accounts are kept in the Purchase or Creditors' Ledger. The original Ledger, now much reduced in size, is called the General Ledger. The Trial Balance now refers to the accounts in the General Ledger. It is evident that the task of taking a Trial Balance is greatly simplified because so many fewer accounts are involved. A Schedule of Accounts Receivable is then prepared, consisting of the balances found in the Sales Ledger, and its total must agree with the balance of the Accounts Receivable account shown in the Trial Balance. A similar Schedule of Accounts Payable, made up of all the balances in the Purchase Ledger, is prepared, and it must agree with the balance of the Accounts Payable account of the General Ledger." The Balance Sheet.--In the more elementary part of the text, the student learned how to prepare a Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the purpose of disclosing the net capital of an enterprise. In the present chapter he was shown how to prepare a similar statement, the Balance Sheet. For all practical...
