 The review ends with the remark, that from a mechanical point of view the books are excellent; the half-tone illustrations are especially good and are well selected.In his days the work of Griffith was occasionally placed inline with the work of Frederick Winslow Taylor, Harrington Emerson, and Henry L. Gantt.In the 1975 article "Who is who in accounting in 1909" the accounting historian Williard E. Stone listed Griffith among the foremost authors and collaborators in the field in the year 1909.
