 General Information. 
 
 Bring in the daily receipt of numerous " letters of inquiry," we give the foUowing 
 iaformation, iu brief, in anticipation of future interrogatories : 
 
 Time or Commencemknt. — Students can oomincnce at any time, as there are no vaca- 
 tions. Each pupil receives individual instruction. Two evils are thus avoided : no 
 person will be drawn along by a class faster than he can comprehend fully the subject 
 matter of what he is going over, neither will he bo retarded by a class that can 
 not progress as rapidly as himself. 
 
 Tkums, etc. — Tuition, payable in advance, by purchase of scholarship, $10, for 
 the full course. Stationery will cost from $5 to $10, according to quality of articles 
 used. Board, with room, can readily be obtained in good private families, by appli- 
 cation at the college rooms, at from $2.50 to $3.50 per week. Tho total expense, 
 therefore, for ten weeks, which is rather more than the average time, need not 
 exceed $S0. 
 
 Full Course. — Persons having paid their tuition once, by purchase of scholar- 
 ship, may attend either of the colleges as long as they please, having the privilege 
 of completing the course at their option. They may, also, review the same as 
 often as they may desire, and are entitled to all the privileges of tho mercantile 
 course, in either institution, in future, free of additional charge. Under no circum- 
 stances, therefore, will the tuition fees, or any part thereof, be refunded. 
 
 Pkeparatory Education. — A knowledge of the ordinary English branches is 
 sufficient, preparatory to entering upon the course of studies. 
 
 Graduates. — Students who complete the entire course, and pass t^e requisite 
 examination, will receive diplomas, and no others. 
 
 Business Hours. — The office and other rooms will be open, for business and 
 instruction, every business day of the year, from 8 o' clock, A. M., to 5 o'clock, P. M. 
 
 Evening Sessions. — The rooms will be open, evenings, from the l5th of Octo- 
 ber to the 15th of April. Persons in the city, engaged in business, can complete 
 the full course, by attending evenings only. Those wishing to take penmanship 
 alone can also receive thorough instruction during the evening. 
 
 Employment. — The principals and teachers of this chain of colleges have an ex- 
 tensive business acquaintance in each of the large commercial cities where their col- 
 leges are located, and always consider it a pleasure, as well as a duty, to further the 
 best interests of their graduates. This influence, alone, is worth, to a young man, 
 the price of a scholarship. 
 
 Accountants, Agents, ^tc. — Business men will fino it to their advantage to call 
 at our office, or address us through post, when in want of an accountant, salesman, 
 collector, or agent. They can always be furnished with a reliable person for either 
 of the above named positions, and, generally, with persons who have had several 
 years' experience iu the same, if preferred.

 The system of Free Lectures which has been iuaugurated and cavried out, at the different 
 points, under (he patronage of the Colleges, hag met with the warmest appreciation of the 
 public. The Course before the New-York College, at Cooper Institute, has been specially 
 commended by the press of that city, and is in high favor with th.c business community.

 The .subject was '" The History and Sphere of 
 CommiTcial Colleges." The lecturer gave a re- 
 •view of the most approved methods of imparting 
 .a commercial an<l business education, and de- 
 ^tailed the lii-tory of this specialty in instruction 
 during the last twenty years. It is contemplated 
 to continue this course weekly, in connection

 Free Lecture Coorsb at Coopee Institcte. 
 — The course of Free Lectures to be delivered 
 during the season, before Bryant & Stratton's 
 Mercantile College, in Cooper Institute, was in- 
 augurated last evening by Mr. S. S. Packard, the 
 Superintendent, in a lecture on the "History 
 and Sphere of Commercial Colleges," delivered to 
 a large audience in Room No. 23 of that Imilding. 
 The lecture was a conci.se and able review of 
 • commercial education in this countrj', abounding 
 in wholesome .suggestions and happy illustra- 
 tions, and clearly showing the advantages of a 
 thorough training in the science of busine-s. The 
 idea of a free course of lectures to young men, 
 under the auspices of such an institution, is one 
 that should be hailed with pleasure, and be met 
 in a spirit of generous appreciation. We lenrn 
 that the lectures will be delivered regulaily on 
 Monday evening of each week, by the prominent 
 speakers of the .city, upon topics of general in- 
 terest.

 Hoys. Clinton Koosevelt lectured last even- 
 ing before Bryant & Stratton's Mercantile Col- 
 lesre, at the Cooper Institute, to a respectable 
 audience, on " The History of Money in all Ages." 
 The lecturer held that the present banking system 
 in Wall-^:treel is no better than the principles 
 upon which /aro banks are conducted in secret 
 placets on Broadway. Although he did not ad- 
 vocate wholly the Democratic system of "hard 
 money." the lecturer utterly condemns our pres- 
 ent financial systems, and claimed that had not 
 the late cri.sis come upon us to break up the 
 banks we m^ght soon h.-vve been importing wheat 
 at 03 cents per bushel, while the price in Chicago 
 was SI 2J. Judge Roosevelt proposes, at some 
 future time, to take up our system by it-elf. point 
 out its error.^. and recommend a system of ex- 
 change, which, in his opinion, were it to supersede 
 the present, would revolutionize the industrial 
 Interests of the country by protecting the laborer 
 
 and consumer against the .'loths and stock gam- 
 blers. The lecturer is understood to be one of 
 the prominent advocates of the "Bullion" Itank 
 enteriirise. lately so much discu.s.sed, where de- 
 posits are propo-eil to be retained in specie, and 
 the depositors charged a per-centago for eafo 
 keeping.

 Capt. Bell's Lecture on Nautical Sciencbi 
 AND the State of our Mercantile Marine. — 
 Capt. J. II. Bell. Professor of Maritime Law and 
 Navigation at Bryant & Stratton's Mercantile 
 College, Cooper Institute, delivered, on Monday 
 evening, a most interesting lecture on the sciences 
 which he professes, and on the state of our mer- 
 cantile marine. The lecture was extemporaneous, 
 and the speaker took a very wide scope. The 
 Captain first spoke of the chain of national mer- 
 cantile colleges, their object, and success .' They 
 were working a glorious reform among the young 
 men of the country. There was a .specialty in 
 their character and object, which was to establi.sh 
 on a firm basis a national system of mercantile 
 and nautical education, to elucidate truth, to 
 detect error, and to pre.scribo and adminis'Lcr the 
 cure. Tlie healing proce-^.s rested with the mer- 
 cantile community, whoso duty it was to support, 
 animate, and confirm the exertions which theso 
 colleges were making— to sustain our national 
 character as a thoroughly-practical and com- 
 petent commercial nation. 
 
 The inelficiency of cominandors and ofllcers in 
 our mercantile marine had long been complained 
 of, and not without cause. The speaker, as a 
 seaman, jjleaded guilty to the charge; but th» 
 fault rested with landsmen, who had liitherto 
 neglected to provide the means of educating 
 American youth for the duties of a profession 
 which was as ancient as it is honorable. The 
 great loses which occuired annually, .showed the 
 necessity for a reform; the press, with its thou- 
 sand tongues, should proclaim the injustice, and 
 the danger of a longer delay in bringing this f-ub- 
 ject before our legislature. It wa-s a fallacy to 
 suppose that nautical science could not be taught 
 in schools. Here the speaker enumerated a long 
 list of qualifications which every seaman in ofiico 
 should possess, and which could not be learned 
 at .sea, and showed in the most eloquent manner 
 that, by educating our seamen, wo should have 
 a right to claim, in truth, to be the greatest com- 
 mercial nation in the world. If the public press 
 would VL-c its powerful influence during the pres- 
 ent session of Congress, our legislators would 
 not. could not. remain blind to the best intere-ita 
 of the country, but would adopt such measures 
 as would secure the rights of seamen, security to 
 property, and the safety of all travelers by sea. 
 The lecturer then gave a short dissertation on 
 the benefits of admitting seamen to the rights of 
 free citizens among a free people, spoke of " freo 
 tr.ade and sailor.s' rights'" at some length, and 
 closed amid the most enthusiastic appl.au.se of 
 the audience.

 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 The gratifying success which has attended the efforts of the under- 
 signed in estabhshing a national system of commercial education, and 
 the inquiries which meet them on every hand toucliing the workings of 
 their institutions, have rendered the present j)uhlic;ation necessary ; 
 and they trust will afford a sufficient apology for entering somewliat 
 minutely into the history and plans of the enterprise, to which they 
 have devoted, and are devoting their entire energies. 
 
 In these days of rival claims in all departments of science and indus- 
 try, a bare assertion of the superiority of any particular effort should 
 be entitled to no credit ; and he who proposes to enter the arena, should 
 do so with the full understanding that success is deserved only as the 
 result of merit ; and that although, for a time, lofty pretensions may 
 seem to outweigh more humble and intelligent action, the genuine 
 coin must eventually supplant the counterfeit, and true merit alone 
 will ultimately escape the disaster of public condemnation. 
 
 There is, perhaps, no department of education more liable to the 
 charge of inefficiency, as generally pursued, than that of commercial 
 science ; and we think it not too much to assume, that in the majority 
 of literary institutions where it is pretended to be tnught " thoroughly," 
 there is imparted little or no practical knowledge of accounts. The 
 reasons are evident at first view : in the first place, no proper facilities 
 are afforded, even if competent teachers could be had ; secondly, the 
 teachers are not had, if the facilities were at hand ; and thirdly, and 
 conclusively, if both teachers and facilities were available, the proper 
 space of time can not be afforded, in connection with other studies. 
 
 It would be quite as sensible to think of educating a young man 
 for the ministry, or the practice of medicine or law, at an " upper 
 crust" boarding school, as to hope to qualify him for the duties of an 
 accountant at any institution where commercial science is not the spe- 
 ciality. This position is more than sustained by the facts ; and it is 
 because this is so, that it has become necessary to establish institutions 
 having particular and only reference to those studies which perfect the 
 student in the practical duties of business life. \Ye shall enter into 
 no argument to prove that this science, like every other, can be learned ; 
 notwithstanding the objections daily urged against such a position by 
 those who claim that "nothing can be learned without expej'iettcey
 
 12 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 The fact that our most cniinont practical men are men of acquired 
 science, capable of reasoning from cause to effect, and willing to avail 
 themselves of the results of principles and experiments not their own, 
 if it teach any tiling, teaches that the experience of others may be 
 prolific of soundest lessons of wisdom to us ; and that knowledge thus 
 obtained may be put to as practical purposes as if the experience, and 
 not alone the lessons drawn from it, had been our own. 
 
 We say, that in order to teach commercial science effectually^ spe- 
 cial institutions are necessary ; but we would not be understood to 
 infer that, consequently, all institutions having this science for a spe- 
 ciality do teach it effectually. On the other hand, we hazard nothuig 
 in saying, that in no special institutions in the country is there more 
 pretense, and less real merit, than in " commercial schools," so called. 
 
 This is, perhaps, a bold and ungracious assertion ; and, coming from 
 this source, might better not be made. The asseition, however, nei- 
 ther charges nor establishes the fact, the truth of which is well un- 
 derstood by all who have given the subject any attention ; and we 
 mention it because we would not be thought to ignore what is known 
 to be true, and, for the better reason, that no institution, whatever its 
 claims, can wholly escape the odium which attaches to the class to 
 which it may, unfortunately, belong. 
 
 It is no jmrt of our purpose to wage war against our competitors, 
 for wo should not deserve the consideration of fair-minded men, nor 
 the success to wliich we have already attained, did we not gladly ac- 
 knowledge the great woi'k which is being performed by sterling teach- 
 ers in various institutions throughout the country. In fact, we should 
 rejoice to feel that no institution professing this speciality is devoid 
 of merit. Were they all full of merit, and capable of fulfilling all their 
 contracts with the public, it would be to us a matter of sincere con- 
 gratulation. 
 
 We do not intend, however, that our modesty shall stand in the 
 way of a clear and candid announcement of certain characteristics 
 which, whatever their merit, we claim to be peculiar to the mstitutions 
 vinder our control ; and if such announcement, and the investigation 
 which we hope it may engender, should result in a verdcit from the 
 public, establishing our claims to " distinguished consideration," we 
 shall ever feel grateful to the public, and prove our gratitude by re- 
 newed exertions to deserve renewed acknowledgments. , 
 
 The actual deficiency in commercial training, as evinced in the 
 incompetency of graduates hailing from institutions not unknown to 
 fame, whenever the practical test has been applied, has suggested the
 
 INTRODUCTORY. 18 
 
 necessity of a thorough reform in the me^Aoc? of instruction, as well as 
 the extent of the course to be pursued ; and it has been primarily with 
 a view to meet this emergency that the " National Chain of Mercan- 
 tile Colleges" has been inaugurated. Heretofore, the exercises in the 
 schools have been the result of closet study oi teachers ; showing how 
 books 7nay be he])t^ and exhibiting ingenious forms and models, calcu- 
 lated to please the eye, and cover the deficiences in real practical 
 merit. Of this character, also, are nearly or quite all the published 
 text books on this science. The proprietors of the Colleges here 
 represented, have not been satistied with this advancement, and have 
 felt that the business community was fully justified in looking with 
 suspicion upon the practical qualifications of those whose chief en- 
 dorsement was a diploma from institutions founded upon this purely 
 theoretical basis. They have, consequently, inaugurated, and carried 
 to a degree of perfection, a plan, the feasibility of which must 
 be acknowledged by every candid business man, and which is im- 
 perfectly set forth, under appropriate heads, in the body of this 
 work. 
 
 "Were multiplied arguments necessary to jjjrove the wisdom of this 
 course, we need only refer to the hundreds of young men filling 
 responsible positions in the larger cities and villages of the different 
 States of the Union, whose preparatory training has been had solely 
 in these institutions. We feel safe in trusting our reputation in their 
 hands. 
 
 We beg leave to allude, briefly, to some of the points of interest 
 which we claim are peculiar to our Colleges: — 
 
 I.— THE SYSTEM OF INSTRUCTION. 
 
 In order to make this the most thorough and effectual, we have 
 discarded the idea of printed text books, adopting the more prac- 
 tical method of oral instructions, and lectures, with black-board eluci- 
 dations. 
 
 The Business Forms, instead of showing how hooks may he kept, 
 are taken directly from Business Houses, and written up exclusively 
 for our use by practical accountants, each department of trade being 
 amply illustrated in the largest variety of transactions knouni to the 
 business, and the idioms of each clearly defined by their connection 
 and use.' The most approved forms for Accounts Sales, Accounts 
 Current, Balance Sheets, etc., accompany each Set, and may be relied 
 upon as being in every sense practical, and such as are in daily use.
 
 14 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 ^ The Wktting Dbpaktmknt is a vital part of the system, it being 
 one of the fundamental principles that a fair style of business writing 
 is essential to any respectable claims as an accountant.*' It would be 
 equally consistent for one having an impediment in his speech to claim 
 the qualifications of an orator as for an indifferent penman to aspire 
 to the position of a competent book-keeper. In this department we 
 have employed the most accomplished professors, and the best system 
 known to the world. The hundreds of adepts in this science which 
 have emanated form our Colleges during the ])ast six years, will amply 
 sustain us in the assertion that no institutions in the country are doing 
 so much to counteract the evils consequent upon inelegant and unin- 
 telligible chirography. It is, perhaps, sufficient in this connection to 
 say that the distinguished author of the "Spencerian System" of Pen- 
 manship, Mr. P. R, Spencer, as also some of the very best artists and 
 teachers of this system, have been connected with these Colleges since 
 their commencement. Specimens from these institutions also have 
 carried away the first premiums at the State Fairs of New York, 
 Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois and Missouri, and wherever 
 exhibited. For beauty, rapidity, and perfect adaptation to the 
 various uses of business, this system of writing is universally ad- 
 mired. 
 
 In connection with writing, much importance is attached to com- 
 mercial correspondence — not, as is the practice sometimes, in the way 
 of copying from " Ready Letter Writers," but in exacting original 
 documents upon given topics, with criticisms, suggestions, etc., with 
 a view to elicit and direct the latent talent of the student in the most 
 practical channels of thought. 
 
 In the practice, also, of requiring original documents and business 
 entries, it is designed to make the student thoroughly master the 
 principles which underlie the science ; and in the most practical 
 manner to fit him for an intelligent discharge of his duties in the 
 counting room. 
 
 It may be proper in this connection to allude briefly to one feature 
 which will be more definitely explained hereafter, which is the fitting 
 up of our rooms in true counting-house style, giving our students the 
 benefit of practical and periodical drills in the routine of business, and 
 furnishing at hand every facility afforded in the various business 
 establishments, including banks, railroad offices, manufactures, com- 
 mission and forwarding houses, etc.
 
 INTRODUCTORY. 15 
 
 II.— TIIE CHAIN OF COLLEGES. 
 
 We think after the result of our labors, as sliown in the present 
 condition of tlie seven Colleges composing our chain, tliat liltlc doubt 
 need be entertained of the practicability of the course we have 
 adopted. It may be, and doubtless is, owing, in a great measure, 
 to our good fortune in the proper selection of teachers and lecturers 
 at each point, and not a little, certainly, to the thorough course of 
 study prescribed — which is uniform at all the Colleges — that our 
 efforts have been so eminently successful ; but we cannot but think 
 that in the very flxct of a continuous cliain, linking the two great 
 emporiums of the East and West with the intermediate cominerci;il 
 points, lies a great element of our prosperity. In this particular it 
 cannot be said that we liave any competition ; and here, too, Ave claim, 
 is the germ of future achievenient which will vindicate the propriety 
 of the designation we have chosen. 
 
 Since the importance of this cosmopolitan, or, as we have termed 
 it, national system was first apparent, we have spared neither labor 
 nor expense to perfect it ; and it is with no small degree of pride that 
 we now look back upon the obstacles surmounted, and the results thus 
 far achieved. The cities selected by us are each the centre of influ- 
 ence and interest, not only to their immediate surroundings, but, in a 
 measure, to the whole country ;. and, taken together, may truly be 
 said to represent the entire commercial features of the American con- 
 tinent. It was with this view, mainly, that such a connection seemed 
 indispensable to a truly national system. Of the respective claims of 
 each point it is certainly not necessary to speak at length. When the 
 first college was established at Cleveland, in 1853, the commercial 
 importance of that locality was found sufficient to yield a generous 
 support. The opening of the Buffalo College in the following spring, 
 although discountenanced by many respectable citizens, upon the 
 ground that it could not be sustained^ was a most important step ; and 
 the patronage thus secured from every part of the Empire State, 
 noi-thern Pennsylvania, and the Canadas, clearly indicated the feasi- 
 bility of the plan of extension, which has subsequently been more fully 
 carried into effect. 
 
 The Chicago College was opened in tlie fall of 185G, and its history 
 has kept pace with the " manifest destiny" of the great metropolis of 
 the West. The apartments originally selected for this purpose, though 
 capable of accommodating over one hundred and fifty students at a 
 time, were found too strait for the purposes of the institution, and a
 
 16 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 more commodious, accessible, and elegant suite of rooms has been ap- 
 propriately fitted up, and taken possession of. 
 
 The establishment of a college at Albany was, to say the least, an 
 experiment ; although the result has jjrovcn it to have been a successful 
 one. The West is conceded to be the most congenial clime for the plant- 
 ing of new enterprises ; and hitherto this department of instruction, 
 in its broadest sphere, has been confined to the \Yest. The remarka- 
 ble success of the Albany College, however, has clearly demonstrated 
 the potency of that " conservative" element which has, for so long a 
 time, been acknowledged as the peculiar characteristic of the capital 
 of New York. This college was opened on the first of January, 1857 ; 
 and it is not claiming too much to class it with the permanent and 
 prominent institutions of the city and State. 
 
 The Detroit College was opened in the fall of 1857, and has enjoyed 
 uninterrupted prosperity. It is now the only institution of the kind 
 in the beautiful " City of the Straits," and has a strong place in the 
 affections of the people. 
 
 The addition of Philadelphia and New York to the " national 
 chain" was, by no means, the most unimportant step to be taken. In 
 fact, the omission of these cities in any scheme claiming to be " na- 
 tional," would be equal in inconsistency to the " play of Hamlet with 
 the Prince of Denmark left out." This step, in fact, has been con- 
 templated from the first, and its consummation is a matter of sincere 
 gratification to the undersigned, as we trust it may be of some con- 
 sideration to the public. The Philadelphia College was opened in 
 February of the present year, and the New York on the first of Oc- 
 tober. 
 
 Without disparagement to any other point, we can not but feel that 
 the opening of a Commercial College in the commercial metropolis of 
 the country will prove to be the most important step undertaken in 
 this direction, and can not but be fraught with innumerable advan- 
 tages. The location of the New Y^'ork College in the Cooper 
 Institute, Astor Place, occupying, as it does, the finest and most 
 commodious apartments for that purpose in the building, will com- 
 mend itself to all ; and when it is understood that, no matter at what 
 point the student may enter, he has an equal right to all the privileges 
 of any of the other points, the importance of these additions, and the 
 advantages which by such an arrangement we are prepared to afford 
 over any institution of the kind in the coimtry, can be seen at a 
 glance. 
 
 By the purchase of a scholarship in any of our colleges, the holder
 
 INTRODUCTORT. 17 
 
 becomes equally a member of cither or all the others ; lience he is 
 enabled to commxjnce his course at one point, and pursue ami com- 
 plete it at another, being fully entitled to all the peculiar privileges 
 and advantages of seven colleges instead of one. 
 
 Again, by this intercommunication between the different branches, 
 each one becomes essentially benefited, as it is well understood that 
 the business customs of diHerent localities differ in many respects, 
 while it is the adoption and illustration of these customs which com- 
 prises one of the strongest features of our enterprise. Thus, the local 
 peculiarilies, which, it will be conceded, are more strongly developed 
 in the great commercial centres, become interchangeably engrafted 
 into the system of instruction at each point, and each student becomes, 
 from necessity, a cosmopolitan. This fact, when once understood and 
 appreciated, can not fail to attach an importance to credentials from 
 this chain of colleges which can not be equally shared by those institu- 
 tions whose labors and illustrations are confined to one point. 
 
 Again, a student emanating from one of the colleges has the same 
 claim upon the sympathy and attention of the officers and teachers of 
 either of the others as those actually in attendance, and may thus be 
 said to have formed valuable business acquaintances in seven of the 
 most important commercial cities of the Union. 
 
 III.— "THE AMERICAN MERCHANT." 
 
 In the development of our plans it has seemed not only appropriate, 
 but necessary, to employ some suitable exponent of the higher de- 
 mands of commercial science; and we have accordingly, during the- 
 past year, given life to a monthly magazine of the above title, the 
 character and claims of which are now pretty well known to the 
 business community ; and which, we are willing to believe, will do na 
 discredit to the cause which it embraces, or to the community which 
 gives it support. The warm reception which this periodical has met 
 in every part of the country, affords a gratifying evidence of the 
 demand for such a publication, as well as of the dignified character it 
 has sustained. It is our purpose to make the Merchant an intelli- 
 gent and faithful auxiliary in the purest and most worthy aims of the 
 young men of the country, avoiding all the ephemeral trash with 
 which the literary (?) periodicals of the day are filled, and addressing 
 itself understandingly to the higher purposes of life. Each number 
 contains a short biographical sketch, with steel engraved portrait, of 
 Borae eminent man of the country, either living or dead, who has ex-
 
 18 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 bibited in bis life tbose sterling qualities of head and heart which 
 entitle every man to respectful consideration ; together with a large 
 variety of original contributions from the first writers of the country, 
 on topics of general interest, embracing commerce, banking, manu- 
 factures, agriculture, statistics, commercial law, political economy, 
 science, literature, and art. The Mekchant has now reached its 
 ninth number, and its future success is established. 
 
 It is with no small degree of satisfaction that we are enabled to 
 review the labors of the past six years, and jiarticularly the history of 
 the sixteen months just past, covering a space ever memorable in the 
 annals of the country, and fraught with the most remarkable com- 
 mercial phenomena known to the world. We feel truly grateful that 
 notwithstanding the revulsions and disasters which have visited every 
 deiiartment of enterprise, uprooting the solid foundations of colossal 
 fortunes, and spreading ruin and desolation broadcast, that our humble 
 ■efforts have not been paralyzed, and that, instead of being obliged to 
 curtail our operations, we have been permitted to weather the storm 
 without " splitting" a sail, and to make steadily to the port towards 
 which our first and fondest hopes were directed. We believe the public 
 will bear us out in the opinion that the promises made in our last issue, 
 notwithstanding the adverse circumstances which have surrounded us, 
 have been more than fulfilled, and for all this success, as well as for 
 all we hope to realize in the future, we would not, for a moment, 
 forget that we are indebted to the generous confidence and patronage 
 of those who were willing to take us on trust, and whose names 
 would comprise a list of the first business men in the United States 
 and Canada. 
 
 It is to such that we desire to return our grateful thanks, trusting 
 that cur labors in the past may be received as an earnest of the future; 
 and with such hope we desire to subscribe ourselves the public's most 
 obliged and obedient servants, H. B. Bkyant, 
 
 H. D. Steatton.

 MERCANTILE PROBITY. 19' 
 
 BY ELIHU BURRITT. 
 
 There is no figure more common and expressive by which tho experiences 
 of human life are grouped and portrayed, than that which represents it as a 
 sea, or as a voyage across a turbulent ocean. "\Yc know not how many cen- 
 turies old this simile may be, or with what generation or race it originated. 
 Trite as it may sound to the ear, or seem to the eye on paper, it bids fair to go 
 down to the last year of time, carrying with it, unchanged, every feature of 
 its original significance. As the sea, to the last pulsation of its mighty bosom, 
 shall be subject to all the alternations of calm and tempest, to midnight winds 
 and breezeless noons, so human life, to its last heart-beat on earth, shall en- 
 counter the old, swift vicissitudes, that have swept across the unchartered 
 waters of man's experience from the beginning. Unseen dangers, like sunken 
 rocks, will lie in his course to the last ; quick storms will arise which the 
 barometer of his best wisdom will be too slow to indicate ; the leeward drift 
 of temptation will draw him toward shipwreck and ruin ; calms anon will col- 
 lapse his sails and leave him motionless on a still flood of indolence. These 
 analogies are so numerous, and so fully recognized and established by the ob- 
 servation and testimony of a hundred generations, that they may sound in the 
 ears of the multitude as truisms, too hackneyed by use to please a refined lite- 
 rary taste, or to comport with an elegant style of diction. But there is one of 
 these analogies which should be pressed, with all its pointed lessons of in- 
 struction, upon every class of the community, especially upon that great and 
 influential section of it which stands at the helm of the mercantile and finan- 
 cial interests of tho country. There never was a moment in the history of 
 this nation when these lessons were more needed than now, or when so many 
 auxiliary influences were ready and working, to give them invaluable and 
 permanent efi'ect upon the life of business men. Sudden and swift as the 
 typhoon or tornado, came the whirlwind that wrecked and scattered the eo>rthly 
 fortunes and hopes of thousands, at their full spread and promise. Like as 
 the subtle infusion of some poisonous element diseases the air of certain coun- 
 tries, now blackening to death in a single night tho greenest vegetation, now 
 touching the roots and tendrils of human life to the same fatal issue, so the 
 spinal nerve of all the great businesses of the world seemed touched and par- 
 alyzed as by electricity. In the crash and shipwreck, in the dense gloom and 
 darkness of the disaster, the hay, wood, and stubble, the sandy foundations, 
 upon which thousands had built their fancy fortunes, were revealed among 
 the ruins. To return to the figure, the surging sea was covered with wooden 
 anchors, painted to resemble iron ; with mock compasses, whose needles, like 
 the hands of baby -watches, pointed to no pole; with charts containing no 
 Bible line of longitude or latitude, nor Christian principle or point of depart-

 ure. Not in tho memory of any generation, was this sifting of unreal valua- 
 tions more ecvoro and complete. Never did moral or mercantile characters* 
 built upon the sand, fall in more startling and sightless ruins. 
 
 When tho wreck of all things thus built lay strewed over tho country, from 
 ocean to ocean, and over lands beyond tho ocean ; when thousands, who 
 thought their mountains of wealth stood strong, saw them scattered like tho 
 small dust of the balance ; when the earthly interests and inordinate ambi- 
 tions, the lust of the eye, the pride of life, and desire of riches, which had put 
 eternity into an annular eclipse, began to thin away and reveal its impending 
 and solemn realities; when '"men of business" began to feel how poor and 
 transient are all the "securities" not guaranteed in tho Book of Life, when 
 those realities shall burst upon the human soul ; when, in a word, they began 
 to open their eyes to the magnitude and moment of those interests that, lying 
 beyond '''change," pertain to the changeless destiny of the immortal spirit, to 
 be determined by a few remaining days of probation, a disposition to "learn 
 righteousness" became perceptible. A meek mind for i^enitence and prayer 
 succeeded ; prayer at noonday at the very centres of trade and commerce. 
 Merchants, bankers, brokers, and men of every department of business, with 
 all the clerks they could spare for the hour, mingled in this fellowship of con- 
 trition and supplication, and lifted up their hearts and hands together for that 
 good part which the world cannot give nor take away. From the mercantile 
 metropolis of the nation, from city to city, from village to hamlet, this won- 
 derful awakening has spread over the land ; everywhere developing its dis- 
 tinguishing characteristic of "Noonday Prayer Meetings of Business Men.'' 
 Old gray-headed merchants, stalwart draymen and porters, kneeling side by 
 side, pour forth the tearful and joyful utterances of a new religious life. The 
 predictions of the holy seers of old, who, even with divine enlightenment and 
 inspiration, but faintly saw the leading lineaments of these latter days, 
 seem already more than realized. The glowing anticipation of a New- York 
 clergyman, uttered a few years ago in that city, seemed bold and almost ex- 
 travagant at the time, but, compared with the facts of this extraordinary vis- 
 itation, it touches upon its broad fulfilment. He thus expressed his views of 
 what would come at a future day, which he little thought was so near : — 
 
 " The time is coming when Christ's successes shall be reported with the ra- 
 pidity of Napoleon's victories; when the press shall teem with the intelligence 
 of Chrisfs movements in the world ; when tho steamer shall furrow tho deep 
 to speed the tidings of his power ; when the electric Avires shall thrill with 
 heavenly life to convey from city to city, and from continent to continent, the 
 news of revivals of religion, and of nations born in a day. The kingdom of 
 Christ is yet to be the one thing thought of in the world ; and in every market- 
 place, at every exchange, on every bulletin, at the corners of the streets, men 
 shall speak of the glory of his kingdom, and talk of his power, one to an- 
 other, making known his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of hu 
 kingdom." 
 
 The most secular papers in the country have daily borne involuntary testi- 
 mony to tho beginning of this end, if not to its full attainment, in their reports
 
 MERCANTILE PROBITY. 21 
 
 of the Great Awakening of 1858. First and foremost to be affected by this 
 unprecedented work of Divine Grace, have been the merchants and business 
 men of the country, including bankcrB. brokers, capitalists, and even specula- 
 tors. The ploughshare of God's judgments upturn to fallow ground the 
 foundations of the mercantile world. Then His liand scatters broadcast upon 
 its softened ridges the seeds of righteousness and truth, to gcrminato beneath 
 the dew and light of Ilis mercy. Never did a revival visit this country, which 
 constrained so many, even of the godless world, to say — "This is the Lord's 
 doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes." Now, then, with all the characteris- 
 tics of this mighty visitation before our eyes ; with such a work shaking the 
 great centres of American trade, transforming '"ohange" corners, market- 
 places, and printing-offices, to places of social or congregational prayer ; when 
 '• Holiness to the Lord is inscribed on the bells of the liorse.'*,''' to a certain 
 extent of fulfilment, may we not hope to fee the mercantile life of the nation 
 renovated, as one of the fruits and proofs of the divine power and vitality of 
 this wide-spread Awakening ? Is it too much to expect that Commerce itself 
 shall be converted ? — that it shall henceforth be brought under the sway, and 
 be quickened with the sensibilities of a Christian conscience ? That transac- 
 tions "on 'change" at their farthest aberration, shall not get quite out of the 
 range and reach of Christian faith and obligation ? 
 
 Blessed above all the years of this nation's history, shall bo this last of 
 heavenly discipline, of mingled judgment and mercy, if this great renovation 
 of business life shall be realized. It is the great, startling want of the age, 
 and in no country move than in this, of nervous, almost feverish excitement. 
 The ledger may revolve around the Bi])le. as the earth around the sun, squar- 
 ing its interests by the Golden Rule, without involving any nearer alliance 
 between God and Mannnon. This is what the world needs. This is what 
 ehall not only save this nation from fearful perils and punitions, but exalt it to 
 be the first to come under the full sway and sceptre of that kingdom, for whose 
 speedy advent a million of human hearts have been praying morning, noon 
 and night, from one end of the country to the other. Even here, in the large 
 liberty of our land, we cannot have impcrium in imperio, or two separate 
 kingdoms within a kingdom. In that for whioh thousands of American mer- 
 chants and their clerks have been praying, during these memorable months, 
 not only every individual, but every corporation, community, kingdom, and 
 nation, must bow to the name, to the sovereignty of Jesus. .His kingdom can 
 admit no imperium in imperio. When, in answer to the prayers of eighteen 
 hundred years, it shall come in its fullness. He must reign. King of nations 
 as now King of saints. No close borough, no corporation, nor joint-stock 
 company, nor system of business speculation, nor municipal council, nor State 
 or National Government shall be permitted to divide the realm with Him. or 
 to attenuate the allegiance of His subjects by weakening the sense of their in- 
 dividuality and obligations as Christians. It Avould be almost like a nation 
 born in a dav, even if the mercantile and business life of this country should 
 bo thus regenoratod, and permeated with the spirit and principles of Christian 
 righteousness. Both the judgments and mercy of God have made a wide break
 
 22 MERCANTILE PROBITY. 
 
 in the reckless aud guilty career of trade. Those who guided or followed the 
 current to the brink of the disaster, and those wlio are to determine its course 
 hereafter, have knelt together over the ruins in penitence and prayer. In a 
 form of publicity which must reach the remotest community of the civilized 
 world, they have taken upon their souls the most solemn bonds of allegiance 
 to the Author and Finisher of Christian faith and life. The world expects 
 they will do their duty in the new era of trade which is about to commence ; 
 that they will make it new, and distinctive from all preceding cycles of com- 
 merce, by introducing into its government and direction the guidance of un- 
 swerving Christian principle and probity. Without this vital element, the 
 business world must drift again upon the leeshore of ruin: without this at 
 the helm, there will be a periodical shipwreck to the end of the chapter. 
 Who can even glance over the recent revulsion without noticing this capital 
 defect all through Christendom — this lack of Christian probity in financial 
 and mercantile transactions ? Extravagant dealings in fancy stocks, in fancy 
 valuations and unrealities of the widest range, have been adduced as among 
 the prime causes that led to the universal break-down. But there were other 
 speculations which, in our ajiprehension, involved greater moral obliquity, and 
 more irrecoverable baiikruptcy : we mean speculations in fancy reputations. 
 The pecuniary value of a good character, on both sides of the Atlantic, has 
 '• ruled'"' high on 'change, even to a fancy estimation. But, saddest of all these 
 disastrous defections, the best character in mere seeming and show, has not 
 only been thus prized, but priced, and sold ! Merchants, bankers, brokers, 
 men intrusted with great and sacred charges, with all the wealth and sub- 
 stance of widows and orphans, have indeed regarded godliness as great gain, 
 and, with not one emotion of its vitality in their souls, have sjaeculated in its 
 counterfeit for years undetected, until tempted into some transaction that 
 swamped them in inftimy, and revealed the principle upon which they 
 acted. 
 
 How multitudinous are the cases, in which men in various positions have 
 labored to acquire a high reputation for honor, honesty, and general morality, 
 with as much assiduity and vigilance as ever an humble artisan practiced in 
 accumulating a small sura in the savings-bank, by dropjjing a penny a day 
 into his deposit box! And when that reputation has reached its acme in 
 public esteem, how frequently has it had its price ! The Satan of temptation 
 has bid for it ; anjl its owner clutches at the bauble and bubble of that guilty 
 fortune he is to realize from the bargain. Look at Sir John Paul, Strahan, 
 Robson, Redpath, Genet, Schuyler, Seymour, and hundreds of other cases, at 
 home and abroad, which have illustrated this immoral and demoralizing 
 traffic in '• high reputations !'' Look at the sinward drift of mercantile and 
 financial speculations, on both sides of the Atlantic, for the last few years ; at 
 the lack of truthfulness, of conscience, and sterling honesty, in transactions of 
 men who, by education, wealth and influence, claim to lead, enlighten and re- 
 fine the public mind and life of nations. Think of merchants aud manufac- 
 turers of unimpeached reputation, drawing alternately upon a hundred ficti- 
 tious firms, and presenting their counterfeit acceptances, week after week, and
 
 MERCANTILE PROBITY. 23 
 
 year after year, at the counter of some Lank in •whicli they were perhaps 
 directors or stockholders! Glance at the "developments" in the direction of 
 the Western Bank of Scotland, the Royal British Bank in London, and of 
 banks, railway boards, stock-gamblings, and other speculations in this coun- 
 try ! If there had been no stern and sudden In-oak in this career; if this in- 
 sidious demoralization had been permitted to work on uninterrupted a few 
 years longer, until it had reached the foundation stratum of society, and per- 
 meated the great industrial and agricultural classes with its leaven, there 
 would have come a moral bankruptcy, a prostration of faith in man, from 
 which the mercantile world could not have recovered for a generation. 
 
 We trust, that however slowly and feebly the business of the new cycle may 
 revive, it will be guided by new principles of action. We arc confident that 
 the thousands of merchants, bankers, brokers and clerks who have mingled 
 their utterances of contrition and supplication at the Business Men's Prayer 
 Meetings in our cities, have made honest and solemn resolutions to lead here- 
 after a new life of faith and duty. For their own souls' well being, for the 
 glory of God, and the good of their country, may they sec it their duty to 
 bring this new religious life into trade ; to square all their mercantile trans- 
 actions by its principles and dictates. We would say to every young man 
 fitting himself for these pursuits and avocations : Beware of speculating in 
 reputations ; of attaching pecuniary values to a good character in the eyes of 
 men ; of dwelling too long and frequently upon the earthly gains of godliness. 
 Beware of this tendency of your mind, for it seduces into the path of temp- 
 tation, sin and shame. Reputation is the tinkling cymbal, the manward seem- 
 ing of character. It may be the simple inflation of a fiction to a gaudy 
 bubble; the outside drapery of a lie. Do not put out to the sea of life with 
 this wooden anchor. You must have something better, stronger and more 
 enduring than reputation, to hold you back from the lee-shore when the storm 
 comes on in its fury. You must have something " entering into that within the 
 vail," by which to moor every transaction, plan and purpose of trade ; — an 
 unbending principle and habit of Christian Probity in all your dealings on 
 'change, in the counting-room, at railway board.=, at meetings of bank direc- 
 tors, and in all those relationships that are so calculated to merge the individ- 
 ual in the corporation, and weaken the sense of his personal responsibility.
 
 COLLEGIATE COURSE. 
 
 Book-keeping. 
 
 TuE full or collcgiato course embraces a thorough knowledge of 
 the theory and practice of book-keeping and its collateral branches, as 
 hereinafter specified. The method of conveying instruction, it is 
 thought, is the most severely practical that could be adopted ; and the 
 actual practice in the various departments of business is scarcely, if at 
 all, inferior to that had in the counting-room ; in fact it is, in many 
 respects, greatly superior, being adapted to meet the requirements of 
 a more extended variety of transactions than ever occur in any one 
 business house. 
 
 The proprietors claim to have introduced many important improve- 
 ments, both in the method of teaching and the facilities necessary to 
 make it practical. Not content with the forms of the principal books 
 used in the various departments of trade, and furnished by scientific 
 accountants, illustrating faithfully the daily routine of transactions in 
 banks, railroad offices, commission and forwarding houses, manufac- 
 tories, etc., they have had beautifully engraved, for their special use, all 
 the convenient auxiliary blanks, such as notes, drafts, bills of exchange, 
 checks, certificates of deposit, certificates of stock, etc., etc., which 
 the student is made to understand fully, as also the laws pertaining 
 thereto. The exercises in these various departments are conducted 
 precisely the same as in business ; the duties of the different officers 
 and employees clearly stated and enforced, and the principal and aux- 
 iliary books amply defined by their use. To make this proposition 
 better understood, we will very briefly instance the method of impart- 
 ing a knowledge of the routine of banking; premising that a similarly 
 practical method is adopted in the other departments. A " banking 
 class," consisting of some ten or twelve students at a time, or as many, 
 perhaps, as may be qualified by previous training to appreciate quickly 
 and thoroughly, is organized. The stock or subscription books are 
 opened, the stock subscribed, the bank organized, officers elected, cer- 
 tificates issued, installments paid in, and the business of the bank duly 
 commenced. Deposits are now made by different paities, who re- 
 ceive a pass-book properly written up, and the necessary blank checks 
 for doing business with the bank. The different bank charters are ex- 
 plained, and the basis of issue and deposit elucidated. Bank notes
 
 COLLEGIATE COURSE. 25 
 
 are issued, discounts granted, exchanges effected, and, in fact, the 
 whole routine of a banking business clearly illustrated, and in a man- 
 ner such as will impress it indelibly upon the mind. It has been our 
 custom, frequently, to introduce book-keepers and other officers of 
 banks, for the purpose of receiving suggestions from them, and by 
 such our system of teaching has been universally commended. Wo 
 have also, more recently, in order to remove all objections to the lack 
 o? ]oractical training, fitted up our rooms in true counting-house style, 
 with appropriate countei's, desks, drawers, and the general parapher- 
 nalia of business ; our object being to realize, in the fullest sense, the 
 just demand of the public for thorough prepaiatory instruction in all 
 the requirements of business, and to remove from the tyro that un- 
 pleasant stiffness which too frequently stands in the way of success. 
 
 We are fully aware that the greatest importance is not to be at- 
 tached to extrinsic forms, and that it would be possible to enforce 
 the principles of accounts without the trappings of the counting-room; 
 but experience has taught us that the more attractions we can throw 
 around the study, and the nearer we can aj^proach to the exact stand- 
 ard of actual business, the more practical our teachings become, and 
 the greater interest we secure to our classes. To young gentlemen, 
 for instance, who have just emerged from the monotony of a school- 
 life, and have, unfortunately, perhaps, imbibed a dislike for abstruse 
 theories with the usual appliances of the school- room, any approach to 
 the realities of that bustling life towards which they have so long and 
 ardently looked, begets a pleasing sensation, and invests study with an 
 interest never before experienced ; imparting a self-complacency and 
 confidence which will be found essential as a prelude to the uncom- 
 promising duties upon which they expect to enter. In short, our ex- 
 perience has shown us that the more fully we can realize the ideal of a 
 business life in our course, the more eminent is our success in qualifying 
 our students for that life. 
 
 The book-keeping department is under the skillful and able man- 
 agement of gentlemen standing at the head of their profession, the 
 most of whom have had the advantage of long experience both in bus- 
 iness and teaching. 
 
 The system of classifying and analyzing accounts adopted in this 
 department of instruction is greatly in advance of any of the old 
 methods, and has elicited the highest encomiums of business men. 
 
 The students of these colleges become so thoroughly iiuloclrinated 
 in this system that, on presenting them with the footings of any set 
 of ledger accounts, together with the inventories, they will, by a short 
 analytical process, present the effects, liabilities, gains, losses, the pres-
 
 26 COLLEGIATE COURSE. 
 
 ent net capital, or net insolvency, and the net gain or loss, in a few 
 minutes, Avhcn it might require as many hours, or even days, to close 
 and transfer the accounts in the ledger and show the same result. 
 This principle is carried out in the solution of a great variety of prob- 
 lems in partnership settlements. 
 
 In connection with this thorough analysis of the science, and to 
 follow out the details of each particular branch of business, an ex- 
 tensive collection of manusci-ipt forms are used, representing every 
 variety of business books. Each student that comj^letes the course 
 will open, conduct, and close upwards of fifty difterent sets of books. 
 He will be furnished with memoranda of transactions, from which he 
 is to make up the books, precisely as he would make them uj) from the 
 blotter, or day-book, if he were in a business office. 
 
 Among the sets represented are the following, upon most of which 
 a copy-right has been secured :

 Penmanship. 
 
 Indispensable in the attainment of knowledge suited to the wants 
 of active business, is a good hand-writing ; for it is, in fact, what gives 
 currency and real value to every other acquisition in business study. 
 It is the great medium through which thoughts are interchanged, 
 through which commerce speaks, science perpetuates the results of its 
 researches, and the record of a world's progress Is rendered permanent. 
 It needs no encomiums — no labored efforts in proof of its utility. 
 Society owes its present condition of social refinement to its influence ; 
 and our country waits, in a measure, for its universal diffusion, to 
 achieve its greatest results in the field of commercial activity. 
 
 It was the intention, from the first, to give penmanship a promi- 
 nent place in tlie course of study pursued at these colleges, and to 
 secure a system best adapted to the purposes of business. To this 
 end, the Spencerian, or semi-angular, system was adopted, without 
 hesitation,as the best, and, in fact, the only one worthy of consideration. 
 
 This system is taught in all our colleges by its author, and those 
 who have been thoroughly instructed by him ; and, possessing, as it 
 does, all the excellencies which are required for business purposes, 
 and taught, as it is, by the ablest teachers of the system in the country, 
 it becomes one of the most attractive features of the course. No other 
 system extant has found such universal favor with business men, and
 
 COLLEGIATE COURSE. 31 
 
 no other has left its impress on so many minds, or made so many 
 accomplished writers. 
 
 Of the thousands who are using it in business, or engaged in impart- 
 ing instruction in it to others, but very few have seen fit to deny its 
 paternity, thereby denying to its author, who has spent the best years 
 of a long life in perfecting it, his just meed of praise. A few, however, 
 from a feverish anxiety to be thought original, have denied their mas- 
 ter, and, by substituting other names for his system, changing its prin- 
 ciples, and mixing with it unmeauing vagaries, have acquired a 
 passing notoriety ; but, happily, the system retains its real value ; 
 and, if they have succeeded in imparting any true knowledge of 
 writing, be it known, that it results from the excellencies of the sys- 
 tem itself, and not to any mutations to which they have subjected it. 
 
 Commercial Law. 
 
 This department will consist of familiar lectures and questionings, by 
 gentlemen of sound legal acquirements, upon those divisions of the law 
 most intimately connected with the business man engaged in commer- 
 cial pursuits. This department is one of very great importance to the 
 business community, and one that is not yet sufficiently appreciated. 
 Every sane person must, necessarily, during life, enter into many con- 
 tracts, every one of which is regulated by law. The business of a 
 business man is a never-ceasing succession of contracts and agencies ; 
 and yet how few, comparatively, of our best business men understand, 
 as they should, their obligations to others, with whom they enter into 
 conti'act, and others' obligations to them. There are many points of 
 law, of vital importance to every person engaged in business, .that can 
 be easily impressed upon the mind of the student, so that he can always 
 apply them in business transactions ; and, yet, many persons pass a 
 lifetime in the arena of business, and still do not understand them. 
 
 In treating upon this subject, the lecturers will introduce many cases 
 in point that have occurred in their practice, to familiarize and enforce 
 the particular point under consideration.

 Commerce and Commercial Geography. 
 
 This is a new feature in commercial education, and first introduced 
 into mercantile colleges by the principals of this institution. 
 
 There is perhaps no department of learning in which young men 
 generally are so deficient, as the geography of our own and foreign 
 countries.
 
 COLLEQIATE COURSE. S» 
 
 To the business man, as well as him who expects to receive ben- 
 efit from casual reading, but few subjects are of more importance 
 than a definite and correct knowledge of the natural and artificial 
 channels of commerce, both domestic and international. 
 
 The lecturers in this department will endeavor to present the sub- 
 ject in such a manner as to give correct ideas of the commercial fea- 
 tures of the various localities most intimately connected with trade ; 
 to present their mutual relations and mutual importance ; to discuss 
 the respective merits and advantages of the various routes and means 
 of transportation between these commercial centers ; to consider the 
 progress and advances already made in navigation, and the various 
 means of trade ; to point out the avenues and sources through which 
 the agricultural and manufactured products of our own vast and fertile 
 country find a market and consumer ; and show the intimate and 
 fixed relation between the physical features and commercial impor- 
 tance of states and nations. 
 
 Business Correspondence. 
 
 Whilst we are but too well aware that very little practical aid 
 in business correspondence has been drawn from published works and 
 forms upon this subject, we are fully confident that, under a practical 
 and experienced teacher, very great improvements can be achieved. 
 Our method of imparting instruction in this department is of the most 
 practical kind, and one which can not fail of a good result. Students 
 are not required to copy letters, but to indite them upon a variety of 
 topics, all intimately connected with the details of business. Their 
 letters are critically examined by the teacher, their inaccuracies of 
 form, expression, orthography, and style pointed out, and corrected, 
 and general suggestions and examples submitted, with a view to 
 secure to the student a terse, forcible and unaffected style of corres- 
 pondence. The ability to write a good letter — to know just what to 
 say, and how to say it — is an accomplishment second to none which 
 can be possessed by the man of business ; and, as no person can be 
 said to be qualified for any important position in life without a degree 
 of this ability, we have deemed it of the utmost importance that those 
 who carry with them our indorsement should not prove themselves 
 deficient in this accomplishment.

 38 COLLEGIATE COURSE. 
 
 Partnership Settlements. 
 
 The great variety of problems involving partnership settlements, 
 contentions, and misunderstandings, that are required to be solved 
 before completing the full course, gives the student a practical knowl- 
 edge of the methods of procedure in most cases where it requires skill 
 in the adjustment of complicated accounts. The teachers in this 
 department have prepared and preserved a great variety of examples ; 
 many of them are in the precise language in which they were prepared 
 by the parties in controversy, making them as actual and practical as 
 possible. This department of the course is made so full, and the 
 detail carried to such an extent, that it becomes one of the most impor- 
 tant features of the course of instruction. Any young gentleman that 
 can acquit himself to the satisfaction of the teachers in solving these 
 problems, must have a good knowledge of the science of accounts, as 
 distinct from a mathematical knowledge. 
 
 Special Lecturers. 
 
 Hon . HORACE MANN, Hon. GEO. W. CLINTON, and ELIHU 
 BURRITT have consented to lecture before the students, patrons, 
 and friends of these institutions. The world-renowned reputation of 
 these gentlemen makes a simple announcement of their names suffi- 
 cient, without any encomiums from us. 
 
 Banking, Eailroading, etc. 
 
 Bank book-keeping has been brought to such perfection in these 
 colleges, that it is nearly actual practice. After going through with 
 the preliminaries oi starting a bank — such as drawing up the articles 
 of association ; explaining the object, privileges, and restrictions of 
 the charter; opening the subscription book for the subscription of 
 stock; making the necessary arrangements for an oflSce ; receiving 
 the first installment on capital stock ; the election of officers ; 
 receiving notes of circulation from the board of control — in fact, 
 after getting every thing into working order, the bank commences 
 operating. All the necessary books and blank forms are now provi- 
 ded. The transactions come up, and are disposed of, precisely as they 
 would, behind the counter in a bank.
 
 COLLEGIATE COURSE. , g9 
 
 Railroad book-keeping has, also, been much improved upon, in the 
 way of teaching it in these colleges. Two distinct sets of books and 
 forms have been prepared at a large pecuniary outlay, which are 
 designed to show as much of the detail of the business as possible. 
 One set illustrates the business at the head office, and the other, the 
 business at the stations and sub-offices. 
 
 Other Departments of business are also as fully illustrated, 
 simplified, and enforced. 
 
 Ope 
 
 nino: and Closmo; Books. 
 
 Perhaps there is nothing connected with the science of accounts 
 that gives more trouble to, or that is more dreaded by, a practical 
 book-keeper, than the opening and closing of a set of books. There 
 are many practical accountants, so called, who have never either 
 opened or closed even one set of books. They can conducts, set of books 
 year after year without any difficulty; they are rapid and correct in their 
 work ; but, when called upon to open or close books, they are entirely 
 befogged, and are obliged to apply to others for assistance. Such 
 dases are not at all uncommon, and they show the necessity of being 
 thoroughly acquainted with every department of an accountant's duties. 
 
 It is the design of the instructors in this department, to illustrate 
 every conceivable variety of change in the manner of opening and 
 closing books. 
 
 General Lectures. 
 
 For the benefit of the public, as well as to give increased facilities 
 to students for gaining general information, the principals have obtained 
 a corps of some twenty talented gentlemen in each of the cities where 
 these colleges are located, representing nearly all the professions and 
 chief business avocations, to lecture from time to time upon subjects 
 of general interest. These lectures have been unusually well attended 
 during the past season, and have been the means of furnishing a lite- 
 rary feast to a large class of citizens.
 
 To Our Graduates. 
 
 If there is one thought more pleasant than another in connection 
 with our enterprise, it is the consciousness that from almost every 
 city, village, and hamlet within the boundaries of our great common- 
 wealth, comes up from the hearts of those who once had their regular 
 places at our desks and in our classes, the greeting which speaks of an 
 interest in common Avith our own, a mutual desire for the growth and 
 perfection of the work in which we are engaged. 
 
 We do not forget that the memberships in our colleges are per- 
 petual, and that, notwithstanding the multitudes of names herewith 
 published, very many are at the present associated with some of the 
 first business firms in the country, while others are filling equally re- 
 sponsible posts in other capacities, having the chart of their future life- 
 voyage distinctly traced and studied, yet we are possessed of nothing 
 in the way of extended facilities to which all are not equally entitled. 
 The mere form of receiving from us a Diploma does not sever your 
 connection with us, but rather more closely cements it ; and it is not 
 necessary for us to express what you all know, that our classes will 
 never be too full to admit you, or our time too precious to share with 
 you. We are fully aware that you hold in your keeping the elements 
 of our success, that our future patrons Avill be actuated more by a 
 knowledge of your competency than by any special pleading of our 
 own. We have ever placed the greatest stress upon the thorough 
 qualifications of those who bear our credentials, and the fact of your 
 possessing them is as great an evidence as we can give of our full con- 
 fidence in your ability and integrity. We hope to ever retain the re- 
 spect and good will which you have manifested toward us, and to pre- 
 serve the character of our institutions, that you may never desire to 
 conceal the fact of your connection with us.
 
 Miscellaneous Intelligence. 
 
 Ladies' Department. 
 
 The change which has taken place in public sentiment during the 
 last few years, as to the propriety of females being educated as ac- 
 countants, clerks, etc., is a sufficient guarantee for any efforts which 
 may be made to meet the wants and demands of that branch of soci- 
 ety, who deem it a privilege, as well as a right, to assume equality in 
 some of the lighter and less hazardous departments of trade. 
 
 The idea of practicability is the ruling one among our American 
 people ; and the great question to be solved is, whether any particular 
 enterprise or plan of education is to prove of public utility. 
 
 The principal aim of education should be, to qualify men and 
 women for performing, correctly and understandingly, the practical 
 duties of life, and adding an influence for good to society. It is gen- 
 erally acknowledged, that the women of our country have too little 
 knowledge of business affairs. The result is, that, in nine cases out of 
 ten, on the death of the husband, the settlement of the estate is 
 thrown into the hands of administrators or executors, who too often 
 prove "interested financiers," materially affecting the future comfort 
 and prosperity of the " widow and children," whom it is their duty to 
 protect. 
 
 There seems to be no good reason why women, natural guardians 
 as they are, should be kept in ignorance in regard to both theory and 
 practice in business affairs. Many of the duties devolving upon ladies 
 require a correct knowledge of accounts and business routine gener- 
 ally. In the absence of such knowledge, she is often placed in embar- 
 rassing positions, in the performance of even common business trans- 
 actions ; while, in the settlement of an estate, and adjustment of the 
 more complicated affairs, she is found totally incompetent. 
 
 Ladies should be educated with a view to usefulness in society, as 
 well as ornament. 
 
 In anticipation of the wants of this class of community, the prin- 
 cipals have fitted up, in a most convenient and elegant style, a 
 " ladies' department," in which will be taught the same course as
 
 42 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 
 
 in the male department. The very large number of highly respect- 
 able ladies who have already become members of this department of 
 the college is sufficient evidence that the liberal facilities here offered 
 for study, and provisions made for the comfort and convenience of its 
 patrons are duly appreciated. 
 
 We assure the public that nothing will be left undone which will 
 promote the prosperity of this department of the institution, and 
 furnish the most complete and thorough course of study ever offered 
 to ladies in the pursuit of commercial education. 
 
 Reading-Koom. 
 
 A LARGE number of selected newspapers and periodicals are kept on 
 file for the use of students during their leisure moments. This proves 
 to be a very valuable acquisition ; as those who have been accustomed 
 to much reading, and have acquired a habit and taste for it, can here 
 satisfy that appetite in much less time than if they were obliged to 
 procure single copies of papers from diflferent places; and those who 
 have not been in the habit of " looking over the papers" will soon feel 
 the "force of custom," and will find this to be a source of knowledge 
 and entertainment from which may be derived both profit and pleasure. 
 
 Each college is furnished with a well selected library, embracing 
 works upon commercial law, political economy, book-keeping, 
 commerce, commercial geography, ethics, business, etc. 
 
 Preparatory Education. 
 
 A KNOWLEDGE of the Ordinary English branches is all that is 
 necessary preparatory to entering upon the course of studies. The 
 initiatory instruction is such as can be understood and applied by 
 those who are entirely ignorant of every thing pertaining to the 
 science of accounts, so that no person need have any fears of being 
 unable to master the course, if he make the proper exertion. 
 
 Evening Sessions. 
 
 There is no vacation in the day sessions during the entire year ; 
 but the evening sessions close during the summer months. The 
 rooms will be open, evenings, from Oct. ir)th to April 15th, giving all 
 persons who can not attend during the day an opportunity of passing over 
 the entire course, without detracting at all from their daily avocations.
 
 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 43' 
 
 Lyceum, or Debating Society. 
 
 The students and graduates of this institution have formed an 
 association for the discussion and the better understanding of the 
 intricate points that may arise in their daily business transactions, 
 also taking sides on questions of commercial law, political economy, 
 ethics, commercial calculations, principles of penmanship, new 
 methods and classifications in book-keeping, etc. The members of 
 this association meet once a week, and, in an orderly and gentlemanly 
 manner, dispose of all matters under consideration to the satisfaction 
 of all concerned. 
 
 These meetings have proved to be very beneficial to the student, 
 having a tendency to increase his self-confidence, to give him clearer 
 ideas upon all matters discussed, to make him familiar with the 
 manner of conducting public assemblies, and to increase his 
 knowledge generally, by inducing habits of research and investigation. 
 
 Employment. 
 
 It will readily be perceived that our facilities for obtaining 
 situations for graduates are unequaled, having an acquaintance that 
 extends through all the cities between New York and St Louis ; still, 
 we do not hold this out as an inducement to persons to become 
 members of our colleges. We consider that a thorough business 
 education, in itself, is ample compensation for the money and time 
 spent in obtaining it. It is for our interest as well as theirs, to secure 
 situations for our graduates, when they wish them. 
 
 Public Examinations. 
 
 Mercantile colleges, unlike others, have no stated period tor the 
 commencing and closing of sessions. They are designed to accom- 
 modate all persons, at all times, being in perpetual session. This being 
 the case, and each student receiving individual instruction, it is 
 seldom that more than two or three students graduate at the 
 same time. 
 
 It will readily be perceived that this arrangement is not favorable 
 for public examinations ; but such examinations will take place 
 occasionally during the year, when enough students are graduating, 
 about the same time, to make it an object.
 
 44 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 
 
 Diplomas. 
 
 Diplomas will be given to those only who complete the course, 
 and pass the necessary examination. Business men are beginning to 
 understand that all diplomas are not alike in the influence they exert, 
 and in the truthfulness of the language expressed upon the face of 
 them. One of the greatest impediments to the success of a really 
 laeritorious institution of this kind, at the present day, is the fact that 
 they have to contend with so many shallow impostors, who do nothing 
 but copy the forms of others, and announce that they will award 
 them at " half-price." They make no improvements themselves ; and. 
 Instead of announcing simple facts, and striving to elevate this 
 department of education, they are rather lowering the standard, and 
 doing all they can to make it subserve their own pecuniary interests, 
 irrespective of their duty aud obligation to their patrons, and to the 
 direct injury of themselves and the public. 
 
 Counterfeit Money, Engraving, etc. 
 
 For the benefit of those persons who wish to become expert in 
 handling money, and detecting counterfeits, classes will occasionally 
 be formed, in which the different processes of engraving will be illus- 
 trated and explained ; a great variety of samples of both genuine and 
 counterfeit work will be furnished, showing the diflference between 
 them by contrast. By this means, a person can get a good theoretical 
 knowledge of the principles that govern in detecting bank notes, 
 which, with the necessary actual practice, will make him both rapid 
 and sure. 
 
 Boarding. 
 
 There is no boarding-house connected with the college ; but we 
 always have a sufficient number of selected private boarding houses, 
 and private families that take no other boarders than two or three 
 students each, where young men can be sent immediately on applica- 
 tion at the college rooms.
 
 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. ^ 
 
 Scholarships. 
 
 Scholarships are issued for the " full course," which entitle the 
 holder to instruction in either college until thoroughly qualified in all 
 the branches of the course, without regard to time, also giving them 
 the privilege of review, at any future time, free of charge. A person 
 holding a scholarship can attend either the Albany, Buffalo, 
 Cleveland, or Chicago colleges, as may best suit his convenience ; or 
 a part of the course can be taken at one, and completed at either of 
 the others; in short, tuition being once paid entitles the pupil to the 
 privileges of all the colleges. His time will be entirely at his. disposal, 
 he can complete the course as rapidly as he chooses, or can come and 
 go as often as circumstances may require, and complete the coarse at 
 his option. Parents residing in these cities can secure a scholarship 
 for a son or daughter when quite young, and let them attend, at 
 intervals, until a beautiful hand-writing is secured, and a thorough 
 knowledge of the science of accounts and its collateral branches. 
 
 Time of Commencing. 
 
 Students can enter at any time during the year, as there are no 
 vacations. There are some commencing, and others leaving, almost 
 every day. Our arrangements are designed to accommodate every 
 person in want of a business education. Each pupil receives individ- 
 ual instruction, with the exception of blackboard illustrations and 
 lectures, which are listened to by all the students as a class. 
 
 Terms. 
 
 Scholarship for full course, including all departments of 
 book-keeping, lectures, commercial calculations, and prac- 
 tical penmanship, giving the holder all the privileges of the 
 institution until he has mastered all the branches, without

 ladies or gentlemen can enter them at any hour for study, (whether 
 the teachers are present or not,) and feel assured that they will not be 
 disturbed or annoyed. Every male member, on entering the college, is 
 admitted as a gentleman, and is expected to preserve his dignity as 
 such, during his connection with the institution. 
 
 Manuscript Library. 
 
 Our collection of manuscript books and forms is now very extens- 
 ive, an.d additions are being made continually. Young men who have 
 the time at their command can spend one year or more with us, and 
 find ample material to cull from, and labor faithfully during the whole 
 time. 
 
 To Business Men. 
 
 Advice and assistance will be rendered (confidentially or otherwise,) 
 in adjusting partnership settlements ; in opening or closing; books; in 
 changing books from single to double entry ; in improving the form or 
 ruling of books ; in writing up books that are behind ; in detecting and 
 correcting errors, etc. etc.

 Problems. 
 
 The following are a few of the many problems required to be ana- 
 lyzed by the student : 
 
 1. A, B, and are partners ; they invest in equal amounts at com- 
 mencing business ; A shares six-fifteenths, B five-fifteenths, C four- 
 fifteenths of the gain or loss. At closing business, the excess of effects 
 over liabilities is $17,432. A has withdrawn, during business, 
 $1,681.25, and B $634.30. The excess of gains over losses is 
 $2,675.42. What was each partner worth at commencing business? 
 What has each made ? What is the present worth of each ? 
 
 2, A and B are partners ; the former invests three-fifths, and the 
 latter two-fifths, of the capital at commencing. They share the gain 
 or loss equally. At closing, the resources are, cash on hand $8,432.18; 
 merchandise, $12,326 ; bills receivable, $678 ; real estate, $4,250 ; 
 personal accounts due them, $3,423.12. They owe, on bills payable, 
 $3,218.93; on personal accounts, $943.72. A has drawn out, during 
 th-e year, $160 ; B has drawn out $275 ; the profits amount to 
 $3,128.43, and the losses $827.12. What was the firm worth at com- 
 mencing ? What was each partner worth at commencing ? AVhat is 
 each worth at closing ? 
 
 3, A, B, and C are partners; they invest equally at commencing; 
 to share the gains or losses as follows : A, six-fifteenths ; B, five- 
 fifteenths; C, four-fifteenths. At closing, the resources exceed the lia- 
 bilities by $17,432. A has drawn out, during business, $1,681.25 ; B has 
 added to his capital $624.35. The profits exceed the losses by 
 $2,674.42. What was each partner's capital at commencing? What 
 at closing ? 
 
 4. A, B, and C are partners ; to share the gain or loss in proportion 
 to their investments. A invested $6,784; B invested $7,428; C 
 invested $5,672. During business, A has drawn out $1,520. B has 
 added to his capital $984. C has drawn out $620. At closing, the 
 resources amount to $29,374, and the liabilities to $4,160. What has 
 been the gain or loss? What is each partner's share? What is each 
 partner's present worth ? 
 
 6. A & B are partners. They make no investment at com- 
 mencing business. No regular books are kept ; but each partner keeps

 a memorandum of his receipts and expenditures. A is to pay one-half 
 of the necessary expenses for conducting the business, and receive 
 three-fourths of the profits. B is to pay one-half of the expenses, and 
 receive one-fourth of the profits. During business, A has received 
 62,342.41, and paid out, for expenses of the firm, SG23.60. B has 
 received, as shown by his memoranda, $3,736.18, and paid out, on 
 expenses, $56.23. Having settled with all other persons, how will the 
 partners adjust their own accounts, if a dissolution now takes place ? 
 
 6. A, B, and C are partners. A invests $7,420, B $6,812, C 
 $4,635 ; to share the gains or losses equally. During business, A 
 has drawn out $672.43, B has drawn out $2,471.04, C has drawn out

 firm at closing ? What is each partner's interest in the concern ? 
 How will a final settlement be effected with the partners ? 
 
 8. Two mechanics, A and B, commence business as partners, with 
 equal facilities in their profession, and upon the condition that each 
 shall pay one-half of the necessary expense of conducting the business, 
 and share equally in the gain or loss. At the end of one year., they 
 wish to balance their books, and close business, with a proper adjust-

 11. I am offered a good bond and mortgage for $8,000, dated June 
 3, 1857, drawing 7 per cent, simple interest, maturing three years after 
 date. I projiose to purchase it, if by so doing I can realize 15 percent,

 A is worth to the business $1,500 a year ; B, $1,200 ; C, $1,000. At 
 the end of two months, B draws out $500, and A adds to his capital 
 $1,000. At the end of five months, C withdraws $300. They close up 
 their business at the end of the year, and find that a net profit has been

 their gain to be, as in the former case, $3,500. How Avill the gain be 
 equitably divided ? And should the value of money, as in the former 
 case, have any effect on the adjustment of gains ?
 
 50 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 
 
 15. A, B, and C are partners. They invest in equal amounts, and 
 share gains and losses equally. During business, B has withdrawn 
 from his capital $750; C has added to his capital $1,124. At closing, 
 the effects amount to $18,432, and the liabilities to $2,118.28. The 
 total losses amount to $731.04, the tot#l gains $3,110.11. What is 
 each partner's share of gain or loss ? What was each worth at 
 commencing? What at closing? 
 
 16. A, B, C, D, and E enter into co-partnership upon the follow- 
 ing conditions, viz : A and B to furnish the necessary capital for conduct- 
 ing the business, on which each is to be allowed 10 per cent, interest ; 
 A and B's services not to be required in the business ; C to give his 
 whole attention to the management of the establishment, and receive 
 a salary of $1,000, as a partial offset to his superior skill and 
 -experience ; D and E, young men without capital or experience, are 
 ,to give their whole time to the business, under the direction of C. 
 After fulfilling the above conditions, the partners are to share equally 
 ;in gains or losses. 
 
 A and B advance $10,000 each, at commencing business, Jan. 1st, 
 !1856. The books are kept by single entry. At the close of the year, 
 the following is an exhibit of the state of affairs : A has drawn out, 
 .during the year, as follows, viz: April 5th, $200; July 22nd, $700; 
 •Oct. 8th, $600. B has drawn out, March 24th, $150; Aug. 15th,

 INAUGURAL EXERCISES. 
 
 OPENING OF TUE NEW R00M3 OF THE MERCANTILE COLLEGE AT 
 CHICAGO. MK. ARNOLD'S ADDRESS. 
 
 The exercises connected with the opening of the new rooms in 
 " Larnion's Block," Chicago, which occurred on the 4th of May, 1858, 
 Avere of the most interesting nature, comprising an era in the history 
 of mercantile science. Not only was the highest official endorsement 
 afforded, in the person of the INIayor of the city, who presided on the 
 occasion, but the first talent in the various professions was brought 
 into requisition, and did honor to the effort made to elevate the stand- 
 ard of a business education. 
 
 The entire building was brilliantly illuminated, and the large lecture 
 room filled to overflowing with ladies and gentlemen. 
 
 As before stated, Mayor Haines presided, and Hon. Isaac Arnold, a 
 prominent member of the bar, and an effective public speaker, deliv- 
 ered the inaugural address, which we publish in this connection. 
 
 At the close of the address, John C. Dore, Esq., introduced the 
 resolutions which follow ; after which the meeting was addressed 
 by Thomas Richmond, Esq, ; Messrs. Wm. H. Wells, Superintendent 
 of Public Instruction ; J. C. Dore, ex Superintendent ; Bross, of the 
 Press ; Shehan, of the Times ; J. B. Morwin, Esq., and others. Mr. 
 Richmond is one of the earliest settlers of Chicago, and in his remarks 
 stated that forty-three years ago he navigated the lakes, before a 
 steamboat, a harbor, a canal, a light-house, a railroad, or a telegraph 
 was known in the country. Mr. Wells spoke of the general interests 
 of education, and of tho.t particular department to be furthered by 
 the institution now inaugurated. His remarks were exceedingly happy 
 and pointed. The other gentlemen, each in his peculiar vein, added 
 to the intellectual enjoyment of the occasion. 
 
 The public enthusiasm manifested upon this occasion affords addi- 
 tional evidence of the fact elsewhere assumed, that these institutions
 
 52 INAUGURAL EXERCISES. 
 
 for business are gradually making for themselves a home in the affec- 
 tions of tlie people ; and that the best wishes of our most prominent 
 citizens attend the development of this plan of education. It would, 
 indeed, liave been a difficult matter, ten years ago, to elicit the heart- 
 felt resi)onses that were drawn forth upon this occasion, or to commit 
 that class of citizens to the sentiments embodied in these resolutions. 
 But the institutions have made their mark in the business world ; and 
 their fruits are such as every noble-minded man is happy to commend. 
 
 KESOLUnONS. 
 
 Whereas, the commercial interests of our country form the basis of 
 our national intercourse, and constitute a prominent element of our 
 prosperity, being interwoven and indissolubly connected with the well- 
 being of all ; therefore, 
 
 Jiesolved, That a specific department of education is demanded to 
 fit young men for an intelligent and honorable discharge of the respon- 
 sible duties of business life. 
 
 Jiesolved, That the facilities afforded by this chain of National Col- 
 leges are worthy of special consideration ; and that the plan by which 
 a scholarship issued from any one point entitles the holder to a life 
 membership throughout the chain, is a peculiar feature of great util- 
 ity, and receives our most hearty approval. 
 
 Jiesolved, That inasmuch as all classes have more or less to do with 
 business affairs, we commend that branch of education which is thor- 
 oughly obtained only at the Commercial Colleges to the attention of 
 all, as meeting a want experienced not alone by the practical account- 
 ant and merchant, but by the professional man, the mechanic, and the 
 farmer. 
 
 Jiesolved, That the qualifications evinced by the graduates of these 
 Colleges, for the details as well as the intricacies of business life, estab- 
 lish beyond a question the great value and thoroughness of the instruc- 
 tion given. 
 
 Jiesolved, That while we most emphatically endorse this chain of 
 National Colleges, so far as perfected, we bespeak for Messrs. Bryant 
 & Stratton that encouragement and cooperation which will enable 
 them to extend their Colleges to all the cities of America.
 
 EDUCATION OF TITE HrERCTTAWr. 63 
 
 BY HON. ISAAC N. ARNOLD. 
 
 Human energy, which in some R)rm of activity gives color to the times, and 
 stamps its own peculiar phase on each page of human history, is now devel- 
 oping itself in commerce. 
 
 It is not unusual to hear the period in which we live, reproached as being 
 absorbed in material interests. Burke mournfully exclaimed, "The age of 
 chivalry is gone ! " Yet if we compare that fomed period, with its glitter of 
 arms and grace of manners, with the more homely, but far more comfortable 
 and virtuous present, if we observe the degradation of the masses, the slavery, 
 the brutality, and supeistition, Avhich then prevailed, and if we also observe 
 how much of life and treasure was wasted in causeless wars, in the quarrels 
 of kings, in religious persecutions and crusades, I think the student of history 
 will rather find cause of congratulation, that the will and powers of man are 
 now engaged in the pursuits of industry, of trade and commerce : that in this 
 age the human intellect seems principally occupied in developing the material 
 interests of the world; in educating the people, in inventing labor-saving 
 machinery, in subduing the obstacles which space interposes to universal trade 
 and commerce. 
 
 Steam and electricity have almost annihilated time and space, and brought 
 the whole world fnto neighborhood reJations. 
 
 Under these influences, the condition of the world is being revolutionized, 
 and man is rapidly advancing. The merchant is the real missionary, and the 
 sum of human happiness is incomparably greater than in those days of war 
 and knight-errantry, of Avhich poets and sentimentalists so often sing. 
 
 Trade and commerce always keep pace with, and are generally the liarbiu- 
 gers of civilization. 
 
 A moment's reflection upon the date of the origin of the modern instrumen- 
 talities of commerce will illustrate this. A policy of insurance, a bill of 
 exchange, a promissory note, banks and ])ank-notos, are all of comparatively 
 modern origin. 
 
 These instrumentalities have perhaps been scarcely less effective in promo- 
 ting commerce, than the mariner's compass, the steam engine, the telegraph 
 and the railroad. 
 
 In feudal times, and wherever the feudal system left its impress, trade and 
 commerce were degraded, and its followers were a proscribed class. The sol- 
 dier looked with contempt upon the merchant. 
 
 In America it has always been different, as was early illustrated, when a 
 Boston merchant, John Hancock, was called to preside over the Congress of 
 Independence — a distinction to which history has already awarded a higher 
 meed than belongs to occupants of thrones. 
 *An Address, delivered at the dedication of the new rooms of the Chicago Mercantile College.
 
 54 EDUCATION OF THE MERCHANT. 
 
 And this change so inaugurated by the elevation of the Boston merchant, 
 has rapidly extended throughout the civilized world. 
 
 The contest for supremacy among the nations of to-day, is not at the tour- 
 nament, nor on the field of the cloth of gold, nor at those "gentle passages of 
 arms," so graphically described by Sir Walter Scott. Nor is it on the battle 
 field, 
 
 " Where furious Frank and fiery Ilun 
 Shout, midst their sulpli'rous canopy ;" 
 
 nor yet is it on the ocean, where armadas fight for naval glory. 
 
 The " World's Fair" at London is our modern field of glory. The tourna- 
 ment of to-day is beneath the dome of the Crystal Palace, dedicated to indus- 
 try. The naval contests now are between the Collins and Cunard lines of 
 steamships, or at Cowes, in which the victory of a New-York yacht carrying 
 off the prize electrifies two continents. 
 
 The Leviathan of to-day would override and sink the famed Spanish Armada 
 without checking her speed. 
 
 The knights who carry off the highest laurels are your Stephensous, your 
 Morses, your McCormicks, yonr Sir Joseph Paxtons, your Grinnells, your 
 Kanes. 
 
 The result of this revolution is, that the merchant of to-day is the man of 
 the age. He is too busy to be a politician ; he has not time to accept place. 
 He is sending his ships to China, to California, to Australia. He is construct- 
 ing a telegraph across the Atlantic, building a railroad across a continent. 
 
 And thus, by the exercise of an energy and an intellect equal to that of the 
 greatest of the earth, the merchant h?>s made commerce the commanding in- 
 terest. It is limited only by the habitable globe. 
 
 In its origin, you trace its feeble efforts, as it crept along the shores of the 
 Mediterranean, the Caspian, and the Euxine. Now, it penetrates every inlet, 
 explores every land. From the tropics to the poles, no river, bay, harbor, sea 
 or ocean, but is whitened with its sails. Girdling the waters with steamships 
 and the land with railroads, it breaks down the barriers of country and race, 
 and brings men to recognize their universal brotherhood. This universal in- 
 tercourse spreads the thoughts, the inventions, the discoveries, the improve- 
 ments in the intellectual, material and moral world to the uttermost ends of the 
 earth. McCormick's Keaper is relieving the toil of the laborer on the wheat 
 fields of France, Australia, and California, as well as on the prairies of Illi- 
 nois. So commerce brings to us the products of the forest and the field, the 
 sea and the land of every clime ; the gold and the diamond, the spices, the 
 fruits of the tropics, and the furs of the North, the flowers of China and Japan, 
 the evergreens of Asia and Oregon; so that in these days not a flower blooms 
 beneath the universal sun. not a tree or plant which is good for man or beast, 
 but by this universal spirit of commerce is brought to us, and made to con- 
 tribute to our comfort or our pleasure. While at the same time, as Channing 
 eloquently says ■. '• Commerce carries the missionary and the school, the Bible 
 and the Cross.'"'
 
 
 EDUCATION OF THE MERCHANT. 55 
 
 The structures dedicated to commerce arc emblematic of the power of our 
 merchant princes. The warehouse, the depot, and the exchange, rival in exte- 
 rior magnificence the palaces of the Ca3sars. Here, in our own city, the crea- 
 tion of a da^', we see that trade and commerce have summoned the iron from 
 the mine, and the marble from the quai-ry, to rear structures which already 
 surpass the feudal castle. 
 
 How strikingly does Great Britain exhibit the greatness which results from 
 commerce. Formed of those little islands, which scarcely dot the map of the 
 world, yet she is. and has been for centuries, the leading poAver of earth. 
 
 By means of her commerce, she has dotted over the surface of the whole 
 globe with her possessions and military posts, and (to use the figure of "Webster) 
 '•Iler morning drums' beat following the sun, and keeping pace with the hours, 
 circle the earth daily with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial 
 airs of Old England." 
 
 And yet it is to her trading, more than to her iniUlayy posts, to her merchants 
 equally with her soldiers, that England is indebted for her su^iremacy. 
 
 This tendency of the age to devote its intellectual power to material devel- 
 opment and commerce, is perhaps more apparent in the United States, than 
 anywhere else, and no other nation has more strikingly exhibited the results. 
 Here commerce has ever been comparatively unshackled and free : it has al- 
 ways been regarded with pride, and fostered with care. The consequence is, 
 that America's " account current" with the world is gratifying to our national 
 pride. 
 
 The power of the human intellect applied to material advancement has 
 nowhere been more strikingly exhibited than here in our own city. These 
 radiating railroads, stretching in every direction from this common centre, 
 pour into this great granary the agricultural products of the finest portion of 
 the continent, making Chicago the greatest grain mart in the world. Tlie 
 commerce that floats on j^onder lakes^ equaling the entire foreign commerce 
 of the Union, exhibits the extent and richness of Western trade, and of the 
 enterprise, energy, sagacity, and powei', to which it has been so rapidly de- 
 veloped. 
 
 This Commercial College, then, which you are about to inaugurate, has 
 grown out of the necessity of things. It comes to meet a want ; it is a neces- 
 sity, and it is on the spot where that necessity is most felt. Our commercial 
 classes, those who control such vast interests, whose influence on our material 
 progress is so great, need a peculiar training to enable them to discharge the 
 duties which belong to their position. 
 
 It is fit that here, where they are to achieve their victories, they should be 
 trained for the race. 
 
 I propose to submit a few suggestions as to what constitutes that wliich your 
 college is designed to produce — the True American Merchant. 
 
 The basis of all, the cardinal virtue, is Integrity. Without this he may pos- 
 sess all knowledge, industi-y, tact, and sagacity, but he will prove a fiiilure. 
 Truth and integrity are to the merchant like courage to the soldier, and chas- 
 tity to woman, the point of honor to be preserved with as much care, and
 
 56 EDUCATION OF THE MERCHANT. 
 
 guarded as jealously from stain or blemish. Without integrity, though he has 
 everything else, he has nothing. 
 
 No pecuniary sacrifice but should be welcomed rather than do that which 
 wears the least appearance of fi-aud or dishonesty. I have practiced law from the 
 financial embarrassments of 1837 to those of 1857, and the result of much observa- 
 tion is, that as a matter of interest alone, the merchant should preserve his credit 
 for honesty at any pecuniary sacrifice. You cannot, in my judgment, too 
 sti'ongly impress upon all the extreme folly, as well as criminality, of the 
 whole catalogue of evasions, delays, transfers, and frauds, to prevent, hinder, 
 or delay the prompt payment or collection of a debt. The dishonest creditor 
 will generally — not always — find lawyers whose aid in such purposes can be 
 purchased ,• but these efforts are all illegal, dishonorable, miserable follies — 
 temporary expedients, but permanent evils. You cannot impress too strongly 
 on the student of commerce, that perfect candor, truthfulness clear and open 
 as the daj'', honesty which never under any temptation withholds, denies, or 
 delays that which belongs to another, are as cfEcicut in securing success as in 
 attracting respect and admiration. Such qualities have always a market value, 
 which secures to their possessor his own position and price. Capital solicits 
 his acceptance ; station, confidence, business, success, follow his footsteps. It 
 is the glory of Commerce, that she has among her followers such men, not too 
 many — but yet some. There are those of whom it may be truly said *•' His 
 word is as good as his bond." There are men upon whose character integrity 
 has been so impressed, that their word, like pure gold, will pass all over the 
 civilized world. Men who have never seen them, strangers separated from 
 them by half the world, are willing to trust whole flotillas of com- 
 merce to their fidelity and care. People insure against the treachery of the 
 winds and waves, fire and the elements, but feel that if their property once 
 reaches the custody of this honest man, it is safe. Such a man is indeed 
 "the noblest work of God.'" Ilis integrity is better to him than caj^ital. 
 You will teach truth, if you teach that fraud, falsehood and dishonesty, are 
 blunders as well as crimes. When the Chicago merchant sees his whole prop- 
 erty stored in the warehouses of Buffalo, Oswego, New-York, and Boston, 
 and knows there is vigilance to care for it, activity to dispose of it, truth to 
 account for it, and honesty to send it back again, in an increasing tide of opu- 
 lence, there is exhibited that trust, security and confidence which are the life- 
 blood of commerce, and which result in mutual advantage and general pros- 
 perity. But where a fraud is perpetrated, a shock is given to the whole 
 system; all suffer, the innocent and the guilty; and he who perpetrates it is a 
 traitor to his craft, as well as to his creditor. 
 
 May I be allowed to add, that a perfect merchant should be a true Christian ? 
 I mean not the ostentatious professor, who makes long jirayers and conspicu- 
 ous contributions. But any man, in any position, will inspire more confidence 
 and achieve a higher success, who sincerely believes and humbly strives to 
 carry out in his daily life the sublime teachings of the Bible. With the moral 
 basis of integrity and truth, with general intelligence, with habits of industry
 
 / 
 
 EDUCATION OF THE MERCHANT. 57 
 
 and economy, the perfect merchant needs pleasing manners, agreeable address, 
 tact, good temper and decision — the ability to say '• No" with emphasis. 
 
 It is not to be denied, that, with very many bright exceptions, still the 
 standard of commercial honor is too low. There is one conceded fact which 
 illustrates this — for the existence of which not the mercantile class alone, but 
 tlie bar and the judiciary share the responsibility. I allude to the fact that 
 fraud and violations of trust, when committed on a large scale, generally go 
 unpunished. It is Otherwise in England. This must be changed and cor- 
 rected here, or the fabric of our commercial prosperity will be undermined. 
 The banker who embezzles by the thousand, the railroad president who plun- 
 ders a corporation, the public officer who proves a defaulter, must be punished 
 as certainly and severely as the horse-thief. When this is done, we shall have 
 a high standard of public and private morals. 
 
 When I enumerate general intelligence and varied culture as one of the 
 qualifications of the perfect merchant, I mention something within the reach 
 of all. Tlie examples of Franklin, of Elihu Burritt, and many others, show 
 what may be accomplished by application. The man who aims at a leading 
 position as a merchant, will find a knowledge of the modern languages and of 
 commercial law almost a necessity. 
 
 You will scarcely need to teach your students how to acquire. Young 
 America seems to understand that pretty well, by intuition. How to use. and 
 bow to spend, is not less important. With health, good habits ii,nd industry, 
 wealth — at least a competence — is within the reach of all. But the true 
 philosopliT/ of use — to use wealth so as to render it most useful to its possessor, 
 to his family, his city, his country — this requires much more study, and much 
 higher qualities, than merely to acquire. Upon this point I have only time to 
 say, that in our country private munificence stands in place of public endow- 
 ments. To the mercantile class, the men who accumulate large fortunes, we 
 must look for the endowment of our charitable institutions, our colleges and 
 universities, our public libraries and galleries of art. To our merchant princes 
 we must also look, to supply the means to those generous and benevolent in- 
 stitutions which embellish the age, and which will go down to futurity as one 
 of its noblest distinctions. That our great merchants appreciate these require- 
 ments, and are ambitious of associating their names with worthy enterprises, 
 the Astor Library, Girard College, the Cooper Institute, and many others less 
 ambitious, but not less meritorious, sufficiently indicate. 
 
 I am proud to add that there are already indications, which I will not 
 specify, which assure us that the wealth of Chicago is, to a considerable 
 extent, in the hands of those who appreciate the claims of art, of learning, 
 and humanity. 
 
 The commercial man is exposed to peculiar dangers ; and, among others 
 none is more disgusting and degrading than an inordinate love of wealth. The 
 accumulation of vast fortunes, by the exertion of stupendous energies and 
 intellectual powers, is a curse or a blessing, as it falls into noble, or vile and 
 sordid hands. Nothing is more disgusting, nothing more coarsely vulgar, than 
 mere wealth, with its silly arrogance, unembellished by taste, without the orna-
 
 58 
 
 EDUCAT10^f OF THE MERCHANT. 
 
 meut of liberal culture, and unhallowed by virtue. A man who has nothing 
 but wealth to be proud of, should be humble indeed. 
 
 There is another topic, to which I trust I shall bo pardoned for making a 
 passing allusion. There is a feeling existing to some extent, that in these days 
 the conuncrcial classes are not the most sensitive to the encroachments of 
 wrong and oppression — that, as a class, they do not feel the first approaches 
 of danger to the great principles on which our free institutions are based. 
 They are sometimes charged with being willing to barter, for peace and gain, 
 the right to be true. Some afi'cct to doubt whether, in these days, very many 
 such merchants as John Hancock would be found, who, when he attached his 
 name to the Declaration of ludependeuce, heard unmoved the exclauiation, 
 '• There goes half a million." In so f\ir as there is truth in these reproaches, 
 if there is any, the course of the merchant is suicidal — for liberty is the very 
 air and life of commerce. England and America, the freest, are also the most 
 commercial nations of the world — and I am proud to add, that if such re- 
 proaches can be justly made against the commercial class of any city, they 
 cannot be justly made against the merchants of Chicago. No disloyalty to 
 freedom can be charged against them. 
 
 This school, then, will strive to train its pupils to adopt as their model the 
 perfect merchant ; who, while engaged in the engrossing pursuits of commerce, 
 will never forget that he is a citizen and a man. Go forward, then, in your 
 teaching — and while you instruct in the way to acquire, teach also how to use, 
 and how to spend. "While you point out to your pupil the path to success, 
 teach also, that there is something higher and better than success. Teach him 
 that wealth, without culture or worth, instead of being a badge of honor, only 
 I'enders the ignorance, the vice, the rudeness of the possessor the more con- 
 spicuous. Teach that wealth is only valuable as a means. Show to him that 
 the successful merchant is the trustee of his property, which has been placed 
 in his hands to be used for useful purposes. Teach him what he owes to him- 
 self, to his family, to religion, to letters, to his country. To himself, the suc- 
 cessful merchant owes the highest culture which circumstances will permit. 
 To his family, the best education, a home of comfort, of elegance, of taste 
 and hospitality — where books, and flowers, and works of art, shall cultivate 
 the love of the true, the pure, and the beautiful. To religion he owes liberal 
 support and aid, as the basis of all individual happiness and national pros- 
 perity. To him the community have a right to look for aid for their colleges, 
 their public libraries, their galleries of art, their public charities and hospi- 
 tals. In so far as this institution aids in the training of such men, it will 
 itself become an institution of great benefit, and its teachers and founders, 
 public benefactors.

 Letters of Recommendation, 
 
 From Practical Business Men of Buffalo, Albany, Cleveland, and Chicago. 
 
 Cleveland, August 27th, 1856. 
 
 The undersigned, bankers of the city of Cleveland, take pleasure in stating to the 
 public, that we have carefully examined the banj^ing manuscript books which are in 
 use in Bryant & Stratton's mercantile colleges, and find them both practical and 
 comprehensive. 
 
 The set consists of twelve books ; and tlic principle and auxiliary books embraced 
 in the course are similar to those used in our business, and the transactions of suf- 
 ficient variety to give the student a perfect illustration of the nature and routine 
 of banking. 
 
 We therefore cordially join in commending the same to young men in pursuit of 
 a thorough commercial education,

 LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION. 
 
 Chicago, Sept. 16th, 1856. 
 To whom it ma\j concern . 
 
 We, the undersigned, bankers of the city of Chicago, having carefully inves- 
 tigated the niaTiuscript forms for teaching the science of banking, as used by Messrs. 
 Bryant & Stratton in their mercantile colleges, take this opportunity to express our 
 hearty concurrence in the same. The principal and auxiliary books are all prac- 
 tical in form, and s<ifriciently comprehensive in matter, to give a correct and com- 
 plete exemplification of the details of banking business, and, if properly inculcated, 
 can not fail to qualify any young man of reasonable endowments, for the duties of a 
 bank accountant. We heartily commend this system to the public.

 We, the subscribers, forwarding and commission merchants, of the city of Chicago, 
 have examined the commission manuscript, illustrating the method of keeping 
 accounts in this business, as used by Messrs. Bryant & Stratton in their mercantile 
 colleges. 
 
 We believe their system to be sound and practical. The forms are all good, and 
 are, in every important respect^ similar to those used by us in our daily business. 
 The illustrations are good, ample, and to the point. We heartily commend the sys- 
 tem to the public.

 We, the undersigned, commission and forwarding merchants of the city of Buffalo, 
 having carefully examined the manuscript commission books as used by Messrs. 
 Bryant & Stratton in their mercantile colleges, take pleasure in stating that we con- 
 sider them eminently practical and sufficiently comprehensive to give a careful 
 student all the necessary information relating to the nature and details of commission 
 business. Tlie forms are, in all essential respects, similar to those adopted by us, 
 and may be relied upon as being the very best in use. We confidently believe that 
 any young man of reasonable endowments, w'ho is thoroughly conversant with 
 these sets, must be competent to conduct business books of this character. We, 
 therefore, most cordially commend this system, under the instruction of these gen- 
 tlemen, to the public.

 OPINIONS OP THE PRESS. 
 
 "We have at hand more than five hundred favorable notices of our enterprise, from 
 the various newspapers of the country. Of course we can publish but a very few 
 of them ; and this we do, not so much to establish our claims to popular favor, as 
 to exhibit some evidences of the importance which is attached to a thorough com- 
 mercial education, wherever the fruits of our labor are manifest. The notices are 
 eelected almost at random : 
 
 [Frojn the Chicago Press and Tribune.] 
 
 AccouKTANTSniP. — No man sliould deceive liim.self with the idea that natural ability alone will 
 enable him to preserve a multiplicity of business affairs from disorder without a knowledge of ac- 
 counts. Whoever indulges such an idea will be most likel}', sooner or later, to find hi.s affair.s in- 
 volved in disorder and dilliculiies, from which he may discover too late it is impossible to extricate 
 them. We therefore advise all to secure a knowledge of the science and art of Bookkeeping at their 
 earliest convenience. We know of no place where butter advantages for the accomplishment of this 
 object can be found than in " Bryant & Stratton's Chain of National Mercantile CoUcgjs." One of 
 the most perfect and efficient links of which is located in our own city. Its evening classes aro 
 now in session. 
 
 [From the Buffalo Times.l 
 
 Pekjiasship. — Among the samples of art which attract universal attention may be mentioned the 
 beautiful specimens of ornamental and business writing, placed on exhibition by Messrs. Bryant & 
 Stratton, of the Commercial College. There is a complete set of Railroad books in elegant bind- 
 ing, the penmanship being executed by one of their students. Tlie writing is in a plain business hand 
 devoid of display, but elegant and chaste in the extreme.' There is a specimen of ornamental wri- 
 ting, executed by Mr. Lusk, which will bear the most critical examination, and compare with any- 
 thing of the kind ever attempted. An Allegory of the " Progress of America," is represented upon 
 it, and is a model in the way of pen-drawing. 
 
 There are many spijciraens wliich we would like to mention did our spice permit. A portrait of 
 P. R. Spencer, author of the Spencerian .system, executed by Lyman P. Spencer, aged IB years, is a 
 wonderful specimen of the perfection to which pen-drawing is carried For a young lad, this piece 
 is worthy of all praise. They call particular attention to their business and ornamental writing in 
 which branches they challenge the world. 
 
 {From the Erie Constitutional] 
 
 At the New-York State Fair, as everybody expected, the specimens of Penman.ship, &c., from 
 Brj^ant & Stratton's colleges took the first premium. Their Colleges are already high in the list 
 among the lir^t institutions in the Union. In every department they are conceded to be perfect — 
 or as near perfection as human perseverance and skill have yet arrived. Their Colleges are located 
 at Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Chicago, and the facilities for obtaining a finished commercial 
 education are not surpas.;ed, and rarely equalled, by any other Colleges on the globe. Voung men 
 desiring to acquire a thorough business training cannot do better than to place themselves under 
 the instruction of Messrs. Bryant & Stratton, and their able corps of assistants. For full particu- 
 lars see advertisement. 
 
 [From the Medina Tribune.] 
 
 The Result OF Energy. — The result of energy rightly applied is nowhere more observable and 
 remarkable than in the success that has attended the enterprise of Messrs. Bryant & Stratton of 
 establishing a chain of mercantile Colleges of the highest order throughout the United States. 
 There are but few men of capital that would have taken the risk of so large an outlay in such an 
 enterprise. But backed by indomitable energy, the ri.sk has so far proven to be a sxfe one, and these 
 gentlemen have now the satisfaction of knowing that they have been successful; that the facilities 
 they have furni.shcd for the advancement of their department of education have been appreciated 
 by the public, and, as a consequence, that their rooms have been filled to overllowing.
