      title = {The complete merchant's clerk: or, British and American  Counting-House. In two parts. Part I. Contains a system of  book-keeping, according to the Italian form of debtor and  creditor, by double entry, as practised at this time by the  merchants of Great-Britain, &c. comprehending the  useful varieties incident to trade; and the method of  balancing rendered familiar to the meanest capacity, by  means of an open ledger: illustrated with plain and easy  rules for journalizing; and a hint to the judicious on  treating company accounts. Part II. Contains book-keeping  in factory, as at present used in the sundry factories of  America, and the West Indies. The knowledge of which will  render any man capable of managing a set of books in any  factory with facility and judgement; being found, by long  experience, the best and most expeditious method for  dispatch of business. Wherein is described the utility and  necessity of that counter-part of the ledger, the  sales-book, with directions for posting it; together with a  summary of book-keeping for a wharf and plantation;  calculated for the information of such as have occasion to  go to America or the West-Indies in quality of factor,  clerk, wharfinger, plantation-clerk, or overseer. The whole  in a method founded on, and reducible to practice; by a  series of examples made useful to the mercantile trader in  the four quarters of the world. By William Weston,  Merchant.
