The act of counting with is repeatedly mentioned in early texts' as an essential skill of the accountant. Its memory survives in terms and conventions but the once universal practice is almost entirely forgotten. Counting with casters was a form of visual (as distinct from mental) arithmetic which would not only serve for them that cannot read, but also for them that can do both but have not at some time their pen or tables ready with them. 2 It was surprisingly simple and could be practised by the untutored with a minimum of instruction,3 yet lent itself to the complex currency and exchange calculations of Mediaeval business.4 From its beginning the system was associated with the use of Roman numerals5 which are difficultto manipulate directly but can be made

The pure theory of consumer demand is a thoroughly developed topic, more so than is its use in providing extra information to improve estimates of demand parameters. In this paper some aspects of the Slutsky-Hicks-Allen theory of demand are used in conjunction with multivariate statistical analysis to provide estimates of elasticities of domestic demand for several New Zealand meats. These estimates are more efficient, in a statistical sense, and considerably superior for prediction purposes than are corresponding results obtained by more standard methods. In addition, the utility maximization theory is tested to see if it is an hypothesis capable of explaining observed demand for the meats considered.
