General Ledger

I never majored in accounting but I can still remember "General Journal"
being a standard term often used in Canadian high school accounting about 50
years ago.  Recently I picked up an Ontario, Canada bookkeeping text book
from 1882.  It makes a distinction between what are called "Day Books,
Journals and Ledgers".  I'll try to photograph some relative pages in the
next few days and attach them in a post.

It's not an Australian accounting thing, unless I managed to grab Australian
book out of my small-city upstate New York library system some 30 years
ago...
