A mule which was well fed, and worked little, grew fat, and wanton, and frisked about very notably. "And why should not I run as well as the best of them?" says he; "it is very well known I had a horse to my father, and a very good racer he was." Soon after this, his master took him out, and being upon urgent business, whipped and spurred the mule .to make hirn put forward, who, beginning to tire upon the road, changed his note, and said to himself, "Ah! where is the horse's blood you boasted of but now ? I am sorry to say it, friend, but indeed your worthy sire was an ass, but not a horse." The Application, If some in the world should be vain enough to think they can derive their pedigree from one of the old Roman families, and being otherwise destitute of merit, would fain draw from thence, it might not be improper, upon such an occasion, to put them in mind that Romulus, the first founder of that people, was baseborn, and the body of his followers made up of outlaws, murderers, and felons, the scum and offscouring of the neighbouring nations. As a man truly great shines sufficiently bright of himself, without wanting to be emblazoned by a splendid ancestry, so they whose lives are eclipsed by foulness, or obscurity, instead of showing to an advan­ tage, look but the darker for being placed in the same line with their illustrious forefathers. Dediictions by Henry Maudslay, Better to have a poor but honest ancestry than boast of descending from any man, however high in station, b11t void of moral worth; so instead of vaunting our high birth, let us endeavour, by leading lives of good repute, to emulate the noble actions of our lineage, and thus, instead of reflecting shame on them, we may become worthy of a place in the history of our family. We see how ignoble a tMng it is to rest on the proficiency or excel~ B 2 lenoe of our ancestors ; instead thereof let us strive to gain such a knowledge of them, and their actions, as will the more stimulate us to follow their good examples and shun their errors; for this reason, and with this view, there can be no harm in attempting ·to trace our genealogy, provided we do not pride ourselves on it, but see that it makes each one of us more anxious and careful to avoid wrong-doing, that our family name may not be brought into disgrace, and so render it a reproach to be a Buckenham or a Maudslay. H. M. 3 NOTES AND EXTRACTS FROM VARIOUS AUTHORITIES REGARDING TH.E FAMILY OF BUOKENHAM OR BOKENHAM. " Thus you see how hard a thing it is to sifte out ye truth in these matters of genealogye."-Diigdale's Letter to Vernon of Shaker·ly, July 9, 1651. The Rev. Charles Parkins's Preface to Blome:6.eld's History of Norfolk. "Surnames were first assumed in France about the year 1000, and were · local, taken from those towns or places of which the persons were lords or owners. "In the troublesome reign of King Etheldred, this kingdom being cruelly ravaged by the Danes, the king and his queen and family took refuge in France, where he remained till the death of Swain, the Danish king; and his two sons, Edward and Alfred, stayed and were educated in Normandy. After the death of Etheldred and the Danish kings Canute, Harold, and Hardicanute, Edward was sent for by the English nobles and made king in 1041, and introduced the Norman custom." " One of the first surnames I find used in England was Thorold de Bukenhall,* who took his name from his lordship of Bukenhall, in Lin­ colnshire, and Edric de Laxfield, Rachel de Gimingham, and Alwi de Thetford were among those who were deprived at the Conquest. These were Norfolk lords and owners, and if the custom prevailed equally in other counties it may be considered an established one before the Conquest, though doubtless it then became general." Early Mention of the Bukenhams as Landholders in Bukenham and its Locality.
