Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-1769)Sir William Blackstone Of Estates, Less than Freehold
NOTES

     1.    We may here mark, once for all, that the terminations of "-or" and "-ee" obtain. In law, the one an active, the other a passive signification; the former usually denoting the doer of any act, the latter him to whom it is done: the feoffor is he that takes a feoffment; the feoffee is he to whom it is made: the donor is one that gives lands in tail; the donee is he who receives it: he that grants a lease is denominated the lessor; and he to whom it is granted the lessee.
