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

land. this term comprehends any found, soil or earth whatsoever, as meadows, 
pastures, woods, waters, marshes, furze and heath. it has an indefinite 
extent upwards as well as downwards; therefore land, legally includes all 
houses and other buildings standing or built on it; and whatever is in a 
direct line between the surface and the centre of the earth, such as mines 
of metals and fossils. 1 inst. 4 a; wood's inst. 120; 2 b1. com. 18; 1 
cruise on real prop. 58. in a more confined sense, the word land is said to 
denote "frank tenement at the least." shep. to. 92. in this sense, then, 
leaseholds cannot be said to be included under the word lands. 8 madd. rep. 
635. the technical sense of the word land is farther explained by sheppard, 
in his touch. p. 88, thus: "if one be seised of some lands in fee, and 
possessed of other lands for years, all in one parish, and he grant all his 
lands in that parish without naming them in fee simple or for life; by 
this grant shall pass no, more but the lands he hath in fee simple." it is 
also said that land in its legal acceptation means arable land. 11 co. 55 a. 
see also cro. car. 293; 2 p. wms. 458, n.; 5 ves. 476; 20 vin. ab. 203. 
     2. land, as above observed, includes in general all the buildings 
erected upon it; 9 day, r. 374; but to this general rule there are some 
exceptions. it is true, that if a stranger voluntarily erect buildings on 
another's land, they will belong to the owner of the land, and will become a 
part of it; 16 mass. r. 449; yet cases are, not wanting where it has been 
decided that such an erection, under peculiar circumstances, would be 
considered as personal property. 4 mass. r. 514; 8 pick. r. 283, 402; 5 
pick, r. 487; 6 n. h. rep. 555; 2 fairf. r. 371; 1 dana, r. 591; 1 burr. 
144. 

[8] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)

land, n.  a part of the earth's surface, considered as property.  the
theory that land is property subject to private ownership and control
is the foundation of modern society, and is eminently worthy of the
superstructure.  carried to its logical conclusion, it means that some
have the right to prevent others from living; for the right to own
implies the right exclusively to occupy; and in fact laws of trespass
are enacted wherever property in land is recognized.  it follows that
if the whole area of _terra firma_ is owned by a, b and c, there will
be no place for d, e, f and g to be born, or, born as trespassers, to
exist.

    a life on the ocean wave,
        a home on the rolling deep,
    for the spark the nature gave
        i have there the right to keep.

    they give me the cat-o'-nine
        whenever i go ashore.
    then ho for the flashing brine --
        i'm a natural commodore
                                                                 dodle
