are there ever 5 men bright say perhaps
2 men or even 1 man not engaged in mercantile
transactions who ever has have taken
any such trouble as that of a single
week's hard study not to speak of a
12 months' for this purpose — or is there
any probability that there ever will be
If not what will be the effect or object
of any such arrangemt as that of
substituting the Italn to the ordinary
method of bookkg or say acct keepg to

case of the Governmt & the public
accounts. What better than a mere
delusion? and of delusn we have

quite enough witht making adding
any addition to the number —

questn whether after translats as

into the vulgar tongue the Italn mode
does not contain some feature by means of whh
the effect aimed at might be compassed with greater
promptitude or certainty or both than at present in the ordinary mode of
account keeping
by simple entry.
