accounting journal or general journal

My comment:

There is difference between a journal and a ledger, see link below.
When you say "general journal", it is understood that you are talking about accounting, so you don't have to mention it, if you just say "journal", then accounting is needed to qualify the term.

You may be right about the princely style, but "Journal of Accounting" usually refers to a magazine.
