7. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
POWER. This is either inherent or derivative. The former is the right, 
ability, or faculty of doing something, without receiving that right, 
ability, or faculty from another. The people have the power to establish a 
form of government, or to change one already established. A father has the 
legal power to chastise his son; a master, his apprentice. 
     2. Derivative power, which is usually known, by the technical name of 
power, is an authority by which one person enables another to do an act for 
him. Powers of this kind were well known to the common law, and were divided 
into two sorts: naked powers or bare authorities, and powers coupled with an 
interest. There is a material difference between them. In the case of the 
former, if it be exceeded in the act done, it is entirely void; in the 
latter it is good for so much as is within the power, and void for the rest 
only. 
     3. Powers derived from, the doctrine of uses may be defined to be an 
authority, enabling a person, through the medium of the statute of uses, to 
dispose of an interest, vested either in himself or another person. 
     4. The New York Revised Statute's define a power to be an authority to 
do some act in relation to lands, or the creation of estates therein, or of 
charges thereon, which the owner granting or reserving such power might 
himself lawfully perform. 
     5. They are powers of revocation and appointment which are frequently 
inserted in conveyances which owe their effect to the statute of uses; when 
executed, the uses originally declared cease, and new uses immediately arise 
to the persons named in the appointment, to which uses the statute transfers 
the legal estate and possession. 
     6. Powers being found to be much more convenient than conditions, were 
generally introduced into family settlements. Although several of these 
powers are not usually called powers of revocation, such as powers of 
jointuring, leasing, and charging settled estates with the payment of money, 
yet all these are powers of revocation, for they operate as revocations, pro 
tanto, of the preceding estates. Powers of revocation and appointment may be 
reserved either to the original owners of the land or to strangers: hence 
the general division of powers into those which relate to the land, and 
those which are collateral to it. 
     7. Powers relating to the land are those given to some person having an 
interest in the land over which they are to be exercised. These again are 
subdivided into powers appendant and in gross. 
     8. A power appendant is where a person has an estate in land, with a 
power of revocation and appointment, the execution of which falls within the 
compass of his estate; as, where a tenant for life has a power of making 
leases in possession. 
     9. A power in gross is where a person has an estate in the land, with a 
power of appointment, the execution of which falls out of the compass of his 
estate, but, notwithstanding, is annexed in privity to it, and takes effect 
in the appointee, out of an interest vested in the appointer; for instance, 
where a tenant for life has a power of creating an estate, to commence after 
the determination of his own, such as to settle a jointure on his wife, or 
to create a term of years to commence after his death, these are called 
powers in gross, because the estate of the person to whom they are given, 
will not be affected by the execution of them. 
    10. Powers collateral, are those which are given to mere strangers, who 
have no interest in the laud: powers of sale and exchange given to trustees 
in a marriage settlement are of this kind. Vide, generally, Powell on 
Powers, assim; Sugden on Powers, passim; Cruise, Dig. tit. 32, ch. 13; Vin. 
Ab. h.t.; C om. Dig. Poiar; 1 Supp. to Ves. jr. 40, 92, 201, 307; 2 Id. 166, 
200; 1 Vern. by Raithby, 406; 3 Stark. Ev. 1199; 4 Kent, Com. 309; 2 Lilly's 
Ab. 339; Whart. Dig. h.t. See 1 Story, Eq. Jur. Sec. 169, as to the 
execution of a power, and when equity will supply the defect of execution. 
    11. This classification of powers is admitted to be important only with 
reference to the ability of the donee to suspend, extinguish or merge the 
power. The general rule is that a power shall not be exercised in derogation 
of a prior grant by the appointer. But this whole division of powers has 
been condemned' as too artificial and arbitrary. 
    12. Powell divides powers into general and particular. powers. General 
powers are those to be exercised in favor of any person whom the appointer 
chooses. Particular powers are those which are to be exercised in favor of 
specific objects. 4 Kent, Com. 311, Vide, Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.; Mediate 
powers; Primary powers.
