Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal and Domestic Accounts It is related of the late Mr. Cecil Rhodes that the great Imperialist, in the early days of his career, called upon a friend, who happened to be at the time assistant manager of a mining company, and found the latter engaged in carefully checking his laundry bill. "My dear fellow," exclaimed Mr. Rhodes, "if you spend your time in this way it is evident that you will never be anything more than an assistant manager to the end of your days." The principle thus crudely expressed is, no doubt, generally true that the man who burdens himself with any detail which can properly be devolved on a subordinate is failing to make the best of his own time and opportunities. It is this feeling, no doubt, that leads many men to neglect the methodical record of their Personal Accounts, conscious that their own powers can be better employed, and being disinclined to trust matters of so private a character to the care of others. The purpose of the following pages is rather to suggest the most approved lines upon which individuals may themselves record their Income, Expenditure, Capital, and Investments, than to recommend the employment of outside professional assistance. There are, however, many persons of position and property, whose inclination leads them to neglect the whole matter rather than trouble themselves to keep accounts regularly. To these it may safely be asserted that the fee incurred by the employment of a qualified accountant will be well spent in having a clear statement of account periodically submitted to them, and may even mere than recoup itself by the disclosure of some material fact that would otherwise be entirely overlooked.
