Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856):
INCORPORATION. This term is frequently confounded, particularly in the old
books, with corporation. The distinction between them is this, that by
incorporation is understood the act by which a corporation is created; by
corporation is meant the body thus created. Vide Corporation.
Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856):
INCORPORATION, civil law. The union of one domain to another.
