Book Description
Excerpt from Tracts Written in the Controversy Respecting the Legitimacy of Amicia, Daughter of Hugh Cyveliok, Earl of Chester, A. D. 1673-1679 Scarcely any civilized people can be named either in ancient or modern times that has failed to treasure up its family genealogies. The Jews. Who we know had a reli gions sanction for doing so, preserved theirs with a sacred care. The Egyptians, we read, by the mouth of their priests at Memphis put to silence a vainglorious Greek, when he boasted that he could show his pedigree for twelve generations, by producing and showing him that of Rameses which went back for seventeen. In classic times the old heathens were fond of tracing up their origin, first to heroes and then to demigods. That the Romans venerated a good ancestral name is abundantly evident from their poets and historians.' Horace did not think his first address to Macenas, the patron of letters and the muses, complete until he had added to his other titles the distinction of being sprung from ancient kings.
