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

  TRANSFER, cont. The act by which the owner of a thing delivers it to another 
  person, with the intent of passing the rights which he has in it to the 
  latter. 
       2. It is a rule founded on the plainest dictates of common sense, 
  adopted in all systems of law, that no one can transfer a right to another 
  which he has not himself: nemo plus juris ad alienum transfers potest quam 
  ipse habet. Dig. 50, 17, 54 10 Pet. 161, 175; Co. Litt. 305. 
       3. To transfer means to change; for example, one may transfer a legacy, 
  either, 1st. By the change of the person of the legatee, as, I bequeath to 
  Primus a horse which I before bequeathed to Secundus. 2d. By the change of 
  the thing bequeathed, as, I bequeath to Tertius my History of the United 
  States instead of my copy of the Life of Washington. 3d. By the change of 
  the person who was bound to pay the legacy, as, I direct that the sun) of 
  one hundred dollars, which I directed should be charged upon my house which 
  I gave to Quartus, shall be paid by my executors.
