19. Bartolus understands a simple and naked consciousness,
without any sign of approbation or concurrence. For this
opinion, says Baldus, he is now roasting in hell. For my own

Civil. l. iv. p. 411), I must approve the theory of
Bartolus; but in practise I should incline to the sentiment
of Baldus. Yet Bartolus was gravely quoted by the lawyers of
Cardinal Richelieu; and Eutropius was indirectly guilty of
the murder of the virtuous De Thou.
