which expired at the age of fourteen and of twenty-five. The
one was subject to the tutor, or guardian, of the person;
the other, to the curator, or trustee, of the estate
(Heineccius, Antiquitat. Rom. ad Jurisprudent. pertinent. 1.
i. tit. xxii. xxiii. p. 218-232) . But these legal ideas
were never accurately transferred into the constitution of
an elective monarchy.
