From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  DOMAIN. It signifies sometimes, dominion, territory governed - sometimes, 
  possession, estate - and sometimes, land about the mansion house of a lord. 
  By domain is also understood the right to dispose at our pleasure of what 
  belongs to us. 
       2. A distinction, has been made between property and domain. The former 
  is said to be that quality which is conceived to be in the thing itself, 
  considered as belonging to such or such person, exclusively of all others. 
  By the latter is understood that right which the owner has of disposing of 
  the thing. Hence domain and property are said to be correlative terms; the 
  one is the active right to dispose, the other a passive quality which 
  follows the thing, and places it at the disposition of the owner. 3 Toull. 
  n. 8 3. But this distinction is too subtle for practical use. Puff. Droit de
