Denization:  Granted to aliens via letters patent by the King, and could be withdrawn at any time.  Could buy and devise land.  Limited inheritance rights.

Naturalization:  Granted to aliens via private act by Parliament.  More costly than denization, naturalization conveyed a higher status and more rights for the alien.  Complete inheritance rights.  Both conferred civil but not political rights.
