[Footnote 206: Julius Paulus, (Sentent. Recept. l. v. tit.
xii. p. 476,) the Pandects, (xlviii. tit. xxi.,) the Code,
(l. ix. tit. l.,) Bynkershoek, (tom. i. p. 59, Observat. J.
C. R. iv. 4,) and Montesquieu, (Esprit des Loix, l. xxix. c.
ix.,) define the civil limitations of the liberty and
privileges of suicide. The criminal penalties are the
production of a later and darker age.]
