5. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
GRANT, BARGAIN, AND SELL. - By the laws of the states of Pennsylvania, 
Delaware, Missouri, and Alabama, it is declared that the words grant, 
bargain, and sell) shall amount to a covenant that the grantor was seised of 
an estate in fee, freed from encumbrances done or suffered by him, and for 
quiet enjoyment as against all his acts. These words do not amount to a 
general warranty, but merely to a covenant that the grantor has not done any 
acts nor created any, encumbrance, by which the estate may be defeated. 2 
Binn. R. 95 3 Penna. R. 313; 3 Penna., R. 317, note; 1 Rawle, 377; 1 Misso.

6. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
GRANT, conveyancing, concessio. Technically speaking, grants are applicable 
to the conveyance of incorporeal rights, though in the largest sense, the 
term comprehends everything that is granted or passed from one to another, 
and is applied to every species of property. Grant is one of the usual words 
in a feoffment, and differs but little except in the subject-matter; for the 
operative words used in grants are dedi et concessi, "have given and 
granted." 
     2. Incorporeal rights are said to lie in grant and not in livery, for 
existing only in idea, in contemplation of law, they cannot be transferred 
by livery of possession; of course at common law, a conveyance in writing 
was necessary, hence they are said to be in grant, and to pass by the 
delivery of the deed. 
     3. To render the grant effectual, the common law required the consent 
of the tenant of the land out of which the rent, or other incorporeal 
interest proceeded; and this was called attornment. (q. v.) It arose from 
the intimate alliance between the lord and vassal existing under the feudal 
tenures., The tenant could not alien the feud without the consent of the 
lord, nor the lord part with his seigniory without the consent of the 
tenant. The necessity of attornment has been abolished in the United States. 
4 Kent, Com. 479. He who makes the grant is called the grantor, and he to 
whom it is made the grantee. Vide Com. Dig. h. t.; 14 Vin. Ab. 27; Bac. Ab. 
h. t. 4 Kent, Com. 477; 2 Bl. Com. 317, 440; Perk. ch. 1; Touchs. c. 12; 8 
Cowen's R. 36. 
     4. By the word grant, in a treaty, is meant not only a formal grant, 
but any concession, warrant, order, or permission to survey, possess or 
settle; whether written or parol, express, or presumed from possession. Such 
a grant may be made by law, as well as by a patent pursuant to a law., 12 
Pet. R. 410. See, generally, 9 A. & E. 532; 5 Mass. 472; 9 Pick. 80.
