About this book
Desk and Debit, or The Catastrophes of a Clerk, is by Oliver Optic. A narrator says he had worked at his trade two years in St. Louis and considered himself competent to do all ordinary work in that line. The narrator says he had been studying book-keeping for two years, using all his evenings in this and other studies.
The narrator says his father told him to improve his handwriting, which, as a carpenter, had been rather stiff. A speaker selects a nice slice of beefsteak and proceeds to cut up the potatoes he was to fry. The speaker says there is an art about cooking and that, as he fried the potatoes, he thought it required just as much science as it did to keep a set of books.
