4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
PUBLIC. By the term the public, is meant the whole body politic, or all the 
citizens of the state; sometimes it signifies the inhabitants of a 
particular place; as, the New York public. 
     2. A distinction has been made between the terms public and general, 
they are sometimes used as synonymous. The former term is applied strictly 
to that which concerns all the citizens and every member of the state; while 
the latter includes a lesser, though still a large portion of the community. 
Greenl. Ev. Sec. 128. 
     3. When the public interests and its rights conflict with those of an 
individual, the latter must yield. Co. Litt. 181. if, for example, a road is 
required for public convenience, and in its course it passes on the ground 
occupied by a house, the latter must be torn down, however valuable it may 
be to the owner. In such a case both law and justice require that the owner 
shall be fully indemnified. 
     4. This term is sometimes joined to other terms, to designate those 
things which have a relation to the public; as, a public officer, a public 
road, a public passage, a public house.
