Excerpt from The Accountant's Compendium The publication of the second edition of this work is primarily attributable to the fact that the first edition of 2,000 copies is exhausted. During the past six years every endeavour has been made to keep the text up to date, while the kindly criticisms which were passed upon the first edition have been carefully considered. Recent statutes and rules, and legal decisions pertaining to the profession have been embodied, and with the exception of those articles which are largely matters of opinion, references and authority are quoted throughout the work. Except where the context otherwise provides, the subjects of this work are dealt with in so far as regards their application to England, and to the extent only that they directly or indirectly affect the practice of an Accountant; so that, where necessary, the treatment has been limited accordingly. While accepting full responsibility for the whole of the work, I desire to express my indebtedness to Mr. H. R. Graves, A.C.A., and Mr. W. E. Burnley, B.A., A.C.A. (both of whom are associated with my firm), for the valuable services they have rendered in assisting me to pass this edition through the press.
