The Counting-House Manual, by DONALD TAYLOR, merchant, is an exposition

of the author's principles of book-keeping, illus- trated by many examples of the actual working of his system, and intermingled with much homely but judicious advice. The plan itself of Mr. TAYLOR is clear and intelligible, but not so distinguished by merit or novelty as to require any detailed ac- count.
