Syn: Tour; excursion; trip; expedition; pilgrimage; jaunt.
Usage: Journey, Tour, Excursion, Pilgrimage. The word
journey suggests the idea of a somewhat prolonged
traveling for a specific object, leading a person to
pass directly from one point to another. In a tour, we
take a roundabout course from place to place, more
commonly for pleasure, though sometimes on business.
An excursion is usually a brief tour or trip for
pleasure, health, etc. In a pilgrimage we travel to a
place hallowed by our religions affections, or by some
train of sacred or tender associations. A journey on
important business; the tour of Europe; an excursion
to the lakes; a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

JOURNEYS ACCOUNT
(bouvier) | JOURNEYS ACCOUNT, Eng. practice. When a writ abated without any fault of the
plaintiff, he was permitted to sue out a new writ, within as little time as
he possibly could after abatement of the first writ, which was quasi a
continuance of the first writ, and placed him in a situation in which he
would have been, supposing he had still, proceeded on that writ. This was
called journeys account.
2. This mode of proceeding has fallen into disuse, the practice now
being to permit that writ to be quashed, and torque out another. Vide Termes
de la Ley, h.t.; Bac. Ab. Abatement, Q; 14 Vin. Ab. 558; 4 Com. Dig. 714; 7
