SOIL
Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art · 1842 · p. 43
The primitive earths in a state of mixture with organized matter fit for the growth of plants. The surface of the earth in every country on which plants have grown and decayed is properly denominated soil; while the earth at a foot or more beneath the surface, commonly called subsoil, is comparatively without organized matter, and is therefore properly denominated earth, clay, sand, gravel, lime, or mixed earth, rocks, or stones, as the case may be. [s. 1142]
