THE following treatise being strictly practical in its nature and tendency, requires but few prefatory remarks. Its contents are, 1. A comprehensive summary of the principal points relative to the law, usage, and negotiation of Bills of Exchange, Drafts, and Promissory Notes; designed chiefly for the use of MERCHANTS and MEN OF BUSINESS. 2. Observations on drawing and accepting Bills in regard to their maturity, or term of payment; with monthly statements showing when Bills and Notes, though dated on different days, and drawn for a like term, yet fall due the same day; also, when one day's difference in date will make several days' difference in the time of payment. 3. A Series of Tables so constructed as to show at a glance, when any bill, note, or draft, drawn or accepted any day of the year, at the usual periods; namely, from 1 to 100 days, and from 1 to 12 months, date or sight, will become due; the days of grace included. |
