A PRACTICAL SrsrEH: OF BooK.KEEPiYG BY DOUBLE AsD
SINGLE ENTRY. By B. WOOD FOSTER. Boston, Pierce
| l. Co. New.York, Sa1ton h Miles.


We are not able to speak of the merits OF this
system of Book ok.Keeping as compared with others,
for we are not sufficiently acquainted with either
10 do SO; but it gives cleer and practical state
ment OF the methods actually in Use among bus
ness men, and mag therefore be supposed to have
the strong testimony OF experience In its favor
The chief aim Of the author has been to give a
practical and not theoretical system. Appended
to the work is great variety Of business forms,
which must be Of essential service to those en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits. The work is very
neatly printed, and will we think prove popular
and useful.

| This is the second number OF monthly r!aga-
zinc made up Of selections from foreign journals.
neatly printed and sold for shilling numbcr.-
The articles in this number are the best from re-
cent numbers of Biackwood, Bentley, the New
Monthly, &c. 1t is at all events well worth the
merely nominal price demanded for it.
% The LIBRARY AT THE HALLS OF JUS TICE
is we believe in fair way to be successful. Mr.
L. w. Pearcc very handsomely consented to act as
Librarian and tc him or Col. Jones books des-
tined for the Library should be directed There
are few families who cannot find half dozen
spare volumes to contribute, and fewer still, VIC
trust, who would grudge the trouble of sending
them to the Tombs For the use of the prisoners.-
Col. Jones has assigned apartment for the re-
ception of the books, and Committee of nine
members of the Lyceum Education Society will in
turn visit the Halls of Justice and attend to their
distribution. In this arrangement the ele
mcnts of such amelioration ard enlig ightenment
as the exer,ions of Mrs. Fry effected in Newga,c.
The moral and intellectual character of the Com
mttce, their high social position, and the tact and
urbanity which has thus Ear distinguished their
proceedings, is almost Of itself warrant OF sue
cess We understand the Rev. Daniel 2 k.ddcr,
late Missionary to Brazil gentleman Of fine tai
ents, and ardently devoted to the intellectual as
we'll as religious elevation Of man, will give Lee
lure on the 18th of March before the Lyceum
Education Society, on the Moral and Intellectual
aspect of Brazil. The proceeds are for the benefit
of the Society, and we heartily wish him fnIl
house.
