Domesday, or domesday-book
Domesday, or domesday-book [liber judiciarius vel censualis Angli', Lat.], an ancient record made in the time of William the Conqueror, and now kept at the Record Office, consisting of two volumes, a greater and lesser; the greater containing a survey of all the lands in England except the counties of Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmorland, Durham, and part of Lancashire, which it is said, were never surveyed; and excepting Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, which three last are comprehended in the lesser volume. There is also a third book, which differs from the others in form more than in matter, made by command of the same king. And there is a fourth book called Domesday, which is only abridgement of the others.

Book of account
Book of account, It involves either addition or subtraction or both of these operations of arithmetic. A book which contains successive entries of items may be a good memorandum book; but until those entries are totalled or balanced, or both, as the case may be, there is no reckoning and no account.
