Containing, spelling, reading, writing, and arithmetick, in an easier way than any yet published; and how to qualify any person for business, without the help of a master. Instructions to write variety of hands ... How to write letters on business or friendship. Forms of indentures ... releases, &c. Also merchants' accompts, and a short and easy method of shop and book-keeping; with a description of the several American colonies. Together with the carpenter's plain and exact rule: shewing how to measure carpenters ... and painters work ... Likewise the practical gauger made easy ... To which is added, The poor planter's physician ... And also prudent advice to young tradesmen and dealers. The whole better adapted to these American colonies, than any other book of the like kind.
