  AGE, n.  That period of life in which we compound for the vices that
  we still cherish by reviling those that we have no longer the
  enterprise to commit.
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :   [ easton ]

  Age
     used to denote the period of a man's life (Gen. 47:28), the
     maturity of life (John 9:21), the latter end of life (Job
     11:17), a generation of the human race (Job 8:8), and an
     indefinite period (Eph. 2:7; 3:5, 21; Col. 1:26). Respect to be
     shown to the aged (Lev. 19:32). It is a blessing to communities
     when they have old men among them (Isa. 65:20; Zech. 8:4). The
     aged supposed to excel in understanding (Job 12:20; 15:10; 32:4,
     9; 1 Kings 12:6, 8). A full age the reward of piety (Job 5:26;
     Gen. 15:15).

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  AGE. The time when the law allows persons to do acts which, for want of
  years, they were prohibited from doing before. See Coop. Justin. 446.
       2. For males, before they arrive at fourteen years they are said not to
  be of discretion; at that age they may consent to marriage and choose a
  guardian. Twenty-one years is full age for all private purposes, and the may
  then exercise their rights as citizens by voting for public officers; and
  are eligible to all offices, unless otherwise provided for in the
  constitution. At 25, a man may be elected a representative in Congress; at
  30, a senator; and at 35, he may be chosen president of the United States.
  He is liable to serve in the militia from 18 to 45. inclusive, unless
  exempted for some particular reason.
       3. As to females, at 12, they arrive at years of discretion and may
  consent to marriage; at 14, they may choose a guardian; and 21, as in males,
  is fun Age, when they may exercise all the rights which belong to their sex.
       4. In England no one can be chosen member of parliament till he has
  attained 21 years; nor be ordained a priest under the age of 24; nor made a
  bishop till he has completed his 30th year. The age of serving in the
  militia is from 16 to 45 years.
       5. By the laws of France many provisions are made in respect to age,
  among which are the following. To be a member of the legislative body, the
  person must have attained 40 years; 25, to be a judge of a tribunal de
  remiere instance; 27, to be its president, or to be judge or clerk of a
  court royale ; 30, to be its president or procurer general; 25, to be a
  justice of the peace; 30, to be judge of a tribunal of commerce, and 35, to
  be its president; 25, to be a notary public; 21, to be a testamentary
  witness; 30, to be a juror. At 16, a minor may devise one half of his,
  property as if he were a major. A male cannot contract marriage till after
  the 18th year, nor a female before full 15 years. At 21, both males and
  females are capable to perform all the act's of civil life.  Toull. Dr. Civ.
  Fr. Liv. 1, Intr. n. 188.
       6. In the civil law, the age of a man was divided as follows: namely,
  the infancy of males extended to the full accomplishment of the 14th year;
  at 14, he entered the age of puberty, and was said to have acquired full
  puberty at 18 years accomplished, and was major on completing his 25th year.
  A female was an infant til 7 years; at 12, she entered puberty, and acquired
  full puberty at 14; she became of fall age on completing her 25th year.
