Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American Railway Accounting: A Commentary
The second phase Of the original title met with a similar fate. To consider the many uses of a well devised system of accounts, would raise most of the problems involved in industrial statistics. This, too, covers a field of analysis of sufficient importance to claim individual treatment, and, for this reason, a consideration of the uses as well as the abuses of business records was set aside. What remains is not very extensive, so far as the text is concerned, but it is dominated by a single purpose. It is a Commentary on the standard system of railway accounts promulgated for and used by American railways.
It is hoped that this simple analysis of a standardized system of business records will prove helpful to three classes of readers.
