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

  MODIFICATION. A change; as the modification of a contract. This may take 
  place at the time of making the contract by a condition, which shall have 
  that effect; for example, if I sell you one thousand bushels of corn, upon 
  condition that any crop shall produce that much, and it produces only eight 
  hundred bushels, the contract is modified, it is for eight hundred bushels, 
  and no more. 
       2. It may be modified by the consent of both parties, after it has been 
  made. See 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 733.
