97 DOMENGET, Gaspard. Nouvelle Méthode pour la Tenue des
Livres, qui conserve tous les Avantages de celle à Parties Doubles.

Large 4to, pp. 60, [2] blank; uncut in contemporary paste-paper
wrappers; foot of spine strengthened; a Wne copy with Domenget’s
authenticating signature to verso of title.
First edition, rare, of this detailed introduction to double-entry book-keeping
adapting some features of Jones’ English System of Book-keeping, but insisting
on double-entry account keeping. In his brief introduction,
Domenget states his intention of combining the salient features of both
methods, to allow for immediate proWt calculations with little administrative
eVort, while at the same time introducing a number of account books, a
simpliWed journal, and a daybook.
Stevelinck argues that Domenget might have overstated his claim to
originality, but maintains that with Domenget a new phase in the development
of the double-entry book-keeping begins. Features like the doubleentry
journal with additional columns, and the squared balance have
remained features of modern book-keeping.
