^{page 3 note [h]} Tenenda per unum cornu, quod est charts praedictae forestae. See the case of the Danish Axe, in Dugdale's Warw. fol. 765. Randal de Meschines, the third Norman earl of Chester, about the year 1124, conferred upon Alan Silvestris the bailywick of the forest of Wirall, by the delivery of a Horn (a bugle Horn), which is still (anno 1751) preserved at Hooton. To this Alan silvestris, Randal Gernouns, the fourth Norman earl of Chester (son to Randel de Meschines) gave Stourton and Pudecan (now Puddington) in Wirall. This forest was disforested, and the lands began to be inclosed, in the reign of king Edward III. Edric, surnamed Silvaticus or the Forester, was the supposed ancestor of Alan Silvestris, and of the Silvesters of Stourton, Foresters of Wirall, whose daughter and heiress married the head of that ancient and honourable family of the Stanleys, the descendants of which match have been for several centuries feated at Hooton in Wirall. The arms of Edric (who was a great warrior) on a shield Argent a large tree torn up by the roots, Vert, since borne by the Silvesters of Stourton in Wirall, are impressed on the Horn.

Instances of Horns used as drinking cups, both of their original materials, and of different and richer substances, frequently occur in the Greek and Roman writers. See Wormius's citations from Pindar, Aeschylus, and Sophocles, Mon. Dan. 395, 396. and from Roman Monuments, and St. Ambrose, ib. p. 387.

Of the same kind was the great Horn finely ornamented with silver gilt, given to the Gild of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, by John Goldcorn, when alderman, about the middle of the fourteenth century; of which hereafter. Similar to this was probably the smaller drinking horn in Wormius's Museum, of which see his Mon. Danica, p. 394. R. G.

^{page 11 note [l]} This word is at least as ancient as Chaucer; perhaps it may be borrowed from buculo, id est, buculus. Dr. Littleton, v. Bison, calls that beast a Bugle. See him also v. Bubulus. Other etymons are given by Junius in voce, and by Mr. Lye.

^{page 12 note [m]} Hickes Thes. Pref. p. xxv.–The Horn described by Wormius has in the small end a modern stopper, made after the horn was found, and no traces of an older one. This Horn is exactly the length of Ulfus's, viz. two feet five inches on the convex side; but four inches shorter than it in the concave, i. e. twenty-five inches. The circumference at the great end is twelve inches; that of Ulfus's fifteen inches. Wormius imagines this horn to have preceded Christianity in Denmark, which makes it two centuries older than Ulfus's; if it be not as old as Frotho the Great, who reigned about the beginning of the first century.
