JAMES DILL, Clerk of the Southern District of New-York. A. PAUL, PRINTER. AGREEABLY to your request, I have examined your System of Book-Keeping which you propose to publish. I think it an excellent one-and much better adapted to the Commerce of this Country than any other System now in print with which I am acquainted. As nothing of this kind, of equal merit, has, to the best of my knowledge, been published in this country, and as your system is in part new, I think it highly entitled to patronage, particularly from the Mercantile class of community. You will please to consider me a subscriber. Your obed't Servant, JOHN VAN SCHAICK, Merchant, I agree perfectly in opinion with Mr. Van Schaick respecting your System of BookKeeping. DUDLEY WALSH, Merchant, I have examined the System of Book-Keeping above alluded to, and am of the opinion above expressed. G. A. WORTH, Cashier of the Tradesmens' Bank, New-York. I concur in opinion with the above Gentlemen, that your System of Book-Keeping is an excellent one. I concur in the same opinion. I concur in the opinions above expressed. JAMES KANE, Merchant. SIR-I have compared the System of Book-Keeping you propose publishing with others with which I have some acquaintance, and do not hesitate to give it the preference.

JOHN TAYLER, President of the New-York State Bank, and Lieut. Gov. of the State of New-York. I agree in the favourable opinions above expressed, of Mr. Bennett's New System of Book-Keeping.
