 second inventories, nor the Balances of whatever 

 description have been set forth in the Trial Bal-

 Gain and Loss or Present Worth, but merely to 

 determine whether the various items which orig- 

 inated in the Day Book and the Work Eeports 

 have been accurately posted to the Ledger. If 

 they have been, the debits and credits balance.
