There are nearly 2,000 matters dealt with in this work, and in view of the probable size of the book under ordinary circumstances, it has been produced in a small but clear type, and printed upon a highly-rolled paper, so that it may be in as small a compass as possible. Although specially written for Accountants in general, and Accountant Students in particular, the information here afforded will be found of use and interest to the majority of mercantile clerks.

This Book contains the whole of the information likely to be required by Trustees in Bankruptcy in such a form that, in conjunction with the Record Book, it provides a Complete Statement of all the Facts relating to any particular Estate, entirely doing away with the necessity for memorandum and loose sheets, which are so frequently lost. In the Second Edition additional pages are provided for a duplicate of the Estate Cash Book, so that a copy of this important record may remain in the office, even when the Cash Book has been sent in for audit. A useful Time Table and a Complete Index are appended. The Estate Book is also suitable for Deeds of Assignment and other private arrangements with creditors. The basis of the system adopted is an amplified Statement of Affairs, showing all the particulars of the estate, the manner in which the debtor's statements as to his assets and liabilities are modified as the actual facts are ascertained, and the manner in which each item is eventually disposed of. Full particulars are also appended upon such matters as the regulations as to Disclaimers, Proofs, Preferential Creditors, &c. Additional Loose Sheets. To meet the requirements of Large Estates additional attached to the Estate Book. GEE & CO., 34 MOORGATE STREET, LONDON, E.C. LAWRENCE R. DICKSEE, F.C.A. (of the firm of Sellars Dicksee & Co. I N consequence of Four Editions (of 1,000 copies each) of this standard work being exhausted, a Fifth Edition has been prepared and is now ready. The work has been thoroughly revised and partly re-written, and is now in every way up to date. The Legal Decisions referred to have been brought up to the beginning of the Long Vacation, and especial attention has also been devoted to the consideration of the Companies Act, 1900, upon which there has been so much discussion of late. The general character of the work is upon the same lines as the last two editions, the subject being dealt with under convenient headings in 12 Chapters, comprising 370 pages, and dealing with the method of audit in connection with all different Classes of Accounts, and the Duties and Responsibilities of Auditors. Chapters are also appended dealing with Investigations of Profits for prospectus purposes and with Income Tax. There are four Appendices. The first, which covers 184 pages, contains extracts from 41 Acts of Parliament dealing with the duties and responsibilities of Auditors. The second, which extends over 212 pages, contains full reports of all the leading decisions affecting the duties and responsibilities of Auditors, and the principles upon which profits may be ascertained and dividends declared. The third consists of an extract from a Thirteenth Century Manuscript, dealing with the duties of Auditors, that is of considerable historical interest; while the last contains a new and complete set of Depreciation Tables and a full description of their use. In deference to a wish expressed by several practitioners, ample space is provided in this Edition to enable each reader to add such Memoranda and Notes as he may consider useful. It is thought that this will be found especially convenient, as enabling the work to be kept continually up to date as further legal decisions are announced. The Index, covering 27 pages, has been entirely re-written for this Edition, and will be found to be most complete. Recommended in the Official Syllabus for the C.P.A. Examinations (New York).
