A set of instructions for book keepers of the Royal African Company's accounts in West Africa. Thirty-six topics are covered, many of a technical nature, but revealing of the sophisticated business techniques in use. Instructions are given for carrying over debts from one set of books to the next, and for making provision for the losses of goods, including the deaths of slaves.
