The newest young man's companion, containing, a compendious English grammar, instructions to write variety of hand [sic] with copies both in prose and verse. A curious collection of letters, forms of indentures, wills and other occurrences in law, arithmetic and mensuration, in an easier way than any yet published. A short and easy method of book-keeping, after the Italian method, a compendium of geography, describing all the kingdoms, &c. in the whole world, with a description of the several counties of England and Scotland, their produce, market-towns and market days, the art of painting in oil or water colours, directions for gilding with gold and silver, the art of making artificial fireworks, tables shewing accompts ready cast up. And an English spelling dictionary. The whole calculated to qualify persons for business without a master, and illustrated with a map of the world. By Thomas Wise, accomptant.
