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!

Fear of property

Generalized economists' term or label to cover all those factors of production that are still in their raw state (or nearly so) -- that is, that have not yet been worked on or transformed by human labor [See: human capital]. Thus, "land" in the economists' sense means not only the dry portion of the earth's surface, but also all those natural resources such as mineral deposits, wild plants and animals, soil fertility, surface water, solar energy and the bounty of the seas that can be used in production.

[See also: factors of production, rent, resources]

To dream of land, when it appears fertile, omens good; but if sterile and rocky, failure and dispondency is prognosticated.

To see land from the ocean, denotes that vast avenues of prosperity and happiness will disclose themselves to you.
  

A general term for the environment of the earth not covered completely by water. In addition to soils includes minerals, waterways, plant cover, etc.

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. In a more confined sense, the word land is said to denote "frank tenement at the least." In this sense then, leaseholds cannot be said to be included under the word lands.

The technical sense of the word land is farther explained by: "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.

Land, as above observed, includes in general all the buildings erected upon it, 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; yet cases are not wanting where it has been decided that such an erection, under peculiar circumstances, would be considered as personal property.

Part of the covenant that God made with the people Israel is that he would give them a "land flowing with milk and honey." Hence, "the Land" refers to the land that God gave the Jews. At the time of the Exodus, this land was called "the Land of Canaan" after the Canaanites who lived there. After the people Israel settled there, it began to be called "the Land of Israel." The Romans made it into a provine with the name Palestine. In the twentieth century, these last two names have distinct political overtones. The "Land of Israel" is used by the Jewish Israelis to designate their country and the ancient boundaries in and near it. The term "Palestine" is used to designate the same territory by nameing it after the present (in some cases) and previous (in other cases) inhabitants, the Palestinians.
