From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  HEREDITAMENTS, estates. Anything capable of being inherited, be it corporeal 
  or incorporeal, real, personal, or mixed and including not only lands and 
  everything thereon, but also heir looms, and certain furniture which, by 
  custom, may descend to the heir, together with the land. Co. Litt. 5 b; 1 
  Tho. Co. Litt. 219; 2 Bl. Com. 17. By this term such things are denoted, as 
  may be the subject-matter of inheritance, but not the inheritance itself; it 


  cannot therefore, by its own intrinsic force, enlarge an estate, prima facie 
  a life estate, into a fee. 2 B. & P. 251; 8 T. R. 503; 1 Tho. Co. Litt. 219, 
  note T. 
       2. Hereditaments are divided into corporeal and incorporeal. Corporeal 
  hereditaments are confined to lands. (q.v.) Vide Incorporeal hereditaments, 
  and Shep. To. 91; Cruise's Dig. tit. 1, s. 1; Wood's Inst. 221; 3 Kent, Com. 
  321; Dane's Ab. Index, h.t.; 1 Chit. Pr. 203-229; 2 Bouv. Inst. n. 1595, et 
  seq.
