ABSTRACT
I know the Word ætatis is, in this Place, by some Lawyers, understood in another Sense; but what I contend for, is, that it may very well be understood in that Sense that I have here given to it: and, accordingly, the same Horace lays it down as a Rule,
For so I read the Law, and so I render it. A very good Law it is, and very wholesome to the Writers themselves.
