Preface
About this book
At last, here is a book about the computers that people really use, with practical tips about how to
use them. Practical PC provides a state-of-the-art introduction to Windows-based PCs, written in
an easy-to-read style. In addition to the printed book, you receive a multimedia version of the entire
textbook with videos and interactive elements such as pop-up definitions, software tutorials, and
practice tests.

Each chapter of Practical PC focuses on a specific topic. The first page introduces the chapter topic,
lists the chapter contents, and highlights BookOnCD media. Each chapter includes the following:
• FAQs, or “frequently asked questions,” address key questions, provide background
information, and give specific tips for becoming a more proficient computer user.
• A three-page Hardware section in each chapter explains the devices that are typically
associated with the chapter topic.
• An Issues page highlights an ethical or cultural controversy that’s relevant to the chapter topic.
• A Project shows you how to explore and apply the concepts presented in each chapter.
• A QuickCheck page contains self-test activities.

About the BookOnCD

Every book includes the innovative BookOnCD, which is loaded with features to enhance and
reinforce learning.

On the CD, the Play It! button makes figures come to life as videos that show you exactly
how computer hardware components work.

Try It! buttons produce step-by-step interactive software tutorials, which give you a
chance to quickly hone your software skills.

The Get It? button starts an interactive auto-graded practice test. Take a test more than
once. Each test contains ten randomly selected questions from an extensive test bank.
Results can be saved and delivered to an instructor.

Interactive “thought” questions focus on current ethical, social, and

What do you think? cultural computing issues. For the classroom, responses can be
consolidated by instructors and displayed as pie charts.

QuickChecks Interactive end-of-chapter QuickCheck questions provide instant

feedback on what you’ve learned.

Pop-up Definitions Clickable boldface terms display pop-up definitions. A Glossary button
& Glossary provides easy access to all definitions from any page.

Acknowledgments
The successful launch of this book was possible only because of our extraordinary “ground crews.” We
would like to extend our profound thanks:

To the instructors and reviewers for the Practical series who expressed their ideas and shared their
teaching strategies with us. To the students at Northern Michigan University, the University of the Virgin
Islands, and countless other universities who have participated in classes and corresponded with us
over the 25 (or so) years since we began teaching.

To our development team: Donna Mulder, Tensi Parsons, Keefe Crowley, and Marilou Sazon Potter for
content and media development; to Kevin Lappi, Deanna Martinson, Karen Kangas, and Jackie Kangas
for testing; and to Chris Robbert for narrations.

To our team members’ patient and supportive parents, spouses, and significant others.

To the New Perspectives team at Course Technology, who once again provided professional and
enthusiastic support, guidance, and advice. Their insights and team spirit were invaluable.

To Marie L. Lee and Kathy Finnegan for their editorial support and to Product Manager Leigh Hefferon,
Associate Product Manager Julia Leroux-Lindsey, Senior Content Project Manager Jill Braiewa, and
Photo Researcher Abigail Reip.

Before You Begin

BookOnCD and use it on your computer. The answers to the FAQs (frequently asked questions) in this
section will help you begin.

FAQ Will the BookOnCD work on my computer?

The easiest way to find out if the BookOnCD works on your computer is to try it! Just follow the steps
below to start the CD. If it works, you’re all set. Otherwise, check with your local technical support

a cube, with white and red feathers for the grenadiers, and green
ones for the light company. The old hall once more resounded with
martial music, the clang of arms, and patriotic songs; drums and
fifes, clarionets and bugles, were piled up with guns and
accoutrements in the form of trophies, above the massive chimney-
piece, putting the deer-horns, the foxes’ heads, and the old cabinets
of oak—black as ebony—out of countenance by their gaudy
colouring. People became as familiar with the music of military
bands as with the sound of church bells; both were heard together
on Sundays, the days generally selected for drill, for heavy taxes
were laid on, and people had to work hard to pay them, which they
did willingly. The Squire had the women on his side, and he worked
upon the men through the women. There was open house at Willey,
and no baron of olden time dealt out hospitality more willingly or
more liberally. The Squire was here, there, and everywhere, visiting
neighbouring squires, giving or receiving information, stirring up the
gentry, and frightening country people out of their wits. Boney
became more terrible than bogy, both to children and grown-up
persons; and the more vague the notion of invasion to Shropshire
inlanders, the more horrible the evils to be dreaded. The clergy
preached about Bonaparte out of the Revelations; conjurers and
“wise-men,” greater authorities even then than the clergy, saw a
connection between Bonaparte and the strange lights which every
one had seen in the heavens! The popular notion was that “Boney”
was an undefined, horrible monster, who had a sheep dressed every
morning for breakfast, who required an ox for his dinner, and had six
little English children cooked—when he could get them—for supper!
At the name of “Boney” naughty children were frightened, and a
false alarm of his coming and landing often made grown-up men
turn pale.

“This way and that the anxious mind is torn.”

The impulse was in proportion to the alarm; the determination raised

was spirited and praiseworthy. Stout hearts constituted an
impromptu force, daily advancing in organization, with arms and
accoutrements, ready to march with knapsacks to any point where
numbers might be required. Once or twice, when a company
received orders to march, as to Bridgnorth, for instance, an alarm
was created among wives, daughters, and sweethearts, that they
were about to join the battalion for active service, and stories are
told of leave-takings and weepings on such occasions. Beacons
were erected, and bonfires prepared on the highest points of the
country round, as being the quickest means of transmitting news of
the approach of an enemy. Of these watch-fire signals, Macaulay
says:—

“On and on, without a horse untired, they hounded still

All night from tower to tower, they sprang from hill to hill,
Till the proud peak unfurled the flag o’er Derwent’s rocky dales,
—
Till like volcanoes flared to heaven the stormy hills of Wales,—
Till twelve fair counties saw the blaze on Malvern’s lonely
height,—
Till streamed in crimson on the wind the Wrekin’s crest of light—
Till broad and fierce the star came forth on Elsig’s stately fane,
And tower and hamlet rose in arms o’er all the boundless plain.”

Within a mile of Willey Hall a tenant of Squire Forester, and, as we

have seen, an occasional guest—John Wilkinson, “the great
ironmaster”—was urging his men day and night to push the
manufacture of shot, shell, howitzers, and guns, which Mr. Forester
believed were for the government of the country, but many of which
were designed for its enemies. Night and day heavy hammers were
thundering, day and night the “great blast” was blowing. He was
well known to the French government and French engineers, having
erected the first steam engine there in 1785, for which he was highly
complimented by the Duke d’Angouleme, M. Bertrand, and others,
and treated to a grand banquet, given to him on the 14th of
January, 1786, at the Hôtel de Ville. Arthur Young, in his travels in
France, tells us that until this well-known English manufacturer
arrived the French knew nothing of the art of casting cannon from
the solid, and then boring them. When Wilkinson returned to
England, he continued to send guns after war had been declared.
This clandestine proceeding came to the knowledge of Squire
Forester, who swore, and roared like a caged lion. Here was the
Squire, who boasted of his loyalty to good King George, having the
minerals of his estate worked up into guns for those wretched
French, whom he detested. He declared he would hunt Wilkinson
out of the country; but the latter took care to keep out of his way.
The exposure ended in a seizure being made. But Wilkinson, a
money-getting, unprincipled fellow, finding he could not send guns
openly, sent best gun-iron in rude blocks, with a pretence that they
were for ballast for shipping, but which, like some of his water-pipes,
were used for making guns. His warehouse was at Willey Wharf, on
the Severn, by which they were sent, when there was sufficient
water, in barges, which took them out into the British Channel, and
round the coast to French cruisers; and it was at this wharf he built
his first famous iron barge. The proprietors of the Calcutts furnaces,
at which young Cochrane, afterwards Earl Dundonald—one of the
last of our old “Sea Lions”—spent some time, when a boy, with his
father, Lord Dundonald, [171] were also casting and boring guns; but,
in consequence of refusing to fee Government servants at Woolwich,
the manufacturers had a number of them thrown upon their hands,
which they sold to a firm at Rotherham, and which found their way
to India, where they were recognised by old workmen in the army,
who captured them during the Sikh war. At the same time cannon
which burst, and did almost as much damage to the English as to
their enemies, were palmed off upon the nation.
Mr. Forester wrote to the Duke of York, who came down,
accompanied by the Prince of Orange, to examine the guns for
himself; and a number of 18 and 32-pounders were fired in honour
of the event. Others were subjected to various tests, to the entire
satisfaction of the visitors.
At this period the Willey country presented a spectacle altogether
unparalleled in Mr. Forester’s experience; his entire sympathy and
that of his fox-hunting friends was enlisted in the warlike movements
everywhere going forward, for the standards of the Wenlock and
Morfe Volunteers now drew around them men of all classes.
Farmers allowed their ploughs to stand still in the furrows, that the
peasant might hurry with the artisan, musket on shoulder, to his
rallying point in the fields near Wenlock, Broseley, or Bridgnorth.
Whigs and Tories stood beside each other in the Volunteer ranks,
heart-burnings and divisions as to principles and policy were for the
time forgotten, and the Squire, although now unable to take the
same active part he formerly did, contributed materially by his
presence and advice to the zeal and alacrity which distinguished his
neighbours.
 CHAPTER XV.
THE WILLEY SQUIRE AMONG HIS NEIGHBOURS.

The Squire among his Neighbours—Roger de Coverley—

Anecdotes—Gentlemen nearest the Fire in the Lower Regions—
Food Riots—The Squire quells the Mob—His Virtues and his
Failings—Influences of the Times—His Career draws to a Close—
His wish for Old Friends and Servants to follow him to the Grave
—That he may be buried in the Dusk of Evening—His Favourite
Horse to be shot—His Estates to go to his Cousin, Cecil Weld, the
First Lord Forester.
Like Addison’s Sir Roger de Coverley, the Willey Squire lived a father
among his tenants, a friend among his neighbours, and a good
master amongst his servants, who seldom changed. He feasted the
rich, and did not forget the poor, but allowed them considerable
privileges on the estate; and there are a few old people—it is true
there are but few—who remember interviews they had with the
Squire when going to gather bilberries in the park, or when sent on
some errand to the Hall. An old man, who brightened up at the
mention of the Squire’s name, said, “Remember him, I think I do; he
intended that I should do so. I was sent by my mother to the Hall
for barm, when, seeing an old man in the yard, and little thinking it
was the Squire, I said, ‘Sirrah, is there going to be any stir here to-
day?’ ‘Aye, lad,’ says he, ‘come in, and see;’ and danged if he didn’t
get the horse-whip and stir me round the kitchen, where he
pretended to flog me, laughing the while ready to split his sides. He
gave me a rare blow out though, and my mother found half-a-crown
at the bottom of the jug when she poured out the barm.” “Did you
ever hear of his being worsted by the sweep?” said another. “He
was generally a match for most, but the sweep was too much for
him. The Squire had been out, and, being caught in a storm, he
called at a public-house to shelter. Seeing that it was Mr. Forester,
the customers made way for him to sit next the fire, and whilst he
was drying himself a sweep came to the door, and looked in; but,
seeing the Squire, he was making off again. ‘Hollo,’ said Mr.
Forester, ‘what news from the lower region?’ ‘Oh,’ replied the sweep,
‘things are going on there, Squire, much as they are here—the
gentlemen are nearest the fire!’” A third of our informants
remarked: “He was one of the old sort, but a right ’un. Why, when
there was a bad harvest, and no work for men, after one of them
war times, and the colliers were rioting and going to break open the
shops, to tear down the flour mill, and do other damage, the old
Squire was the only man that could stop them—he had such
influence with the people. The poor never wanted a friend whilst old
George Forester lived. There were plenty of broken victuals to be
had for the fetching, a tankard of right good ale, with bread and
cheese, or cold mutton, for all comers.”
The years 1774–1782 were periods of local gloom and distress,
when haggard hunger and ignorant force banded together to
trample down the safeguards of civil rights, and armed ruffians took
the initiative in violent scrambles for food. The cavalry were called
out, and fierce battles were fought in the iron districts, where the
rioters sometimes took refuge on cinder heaps, which supplied them
with sharp cutting missiles. In 1795 the colliers and iron-workers
being in a state of commotion, were only prevented from rising by
assurances that gentlemen of property were disposed to contribute
liberally to their relief, and thousands of bushels of Indian corn were
obtained by the Squire and others from Liverpool to add to the grain
procurable in the neighbourhood to meet immediate necessities. A
meeting of gentlemen, farmers, millers, and tradesmen was held at
the Tontine Hotel, on the 9th of July in that year, to consider the
state of things arising out of the scarcity of corn and the dearness of
all other provisions, at which a committee was formed for the
immediate collection of contributions and the purchase of grain at a
reduction of one-fourth, or 9s. for 12s. Mr. Forester at once gave
notice to all his tenants to deliver wheat to the committee at 12s.,
whilst he himself gave £105, and agreed to advance £700 more, to
be repaid from the produce of the corn sold at a reduced price.
Such were the wants of the district, the murmurs of the inhabitants,
and the distinctions made between those who were considered
benefactors, and others who were not, that fear was entertained of
a general uprising; and application was made to Mr. Forester, both as
a friend and a magistrate. He assumed more the character of the
former, and his presence acted like magic upon the rough miners,
who by his kindness and tact were at once put into good humour.
Having brought waggons of coal, drawn with ropes, for sale, the first
thing the Squire did was to purchase the coal: he then bought up all
the butter in the market, and purchased all the bread in the town,
he emptied the butchers’ shops in the same way, and advised the
men to go home with the provisions he gave them.
We are quite aware that it might be said that Squire Forester was
not a model for imitation; and it might be replied that no man ever
was, altogether, even for men of his own time, much less for those
of one or two generations removed, always excepting Him whose
name should never be uttered lightly, and in whom the human and
divine were combined. He had sufficient inherent good qualities,
however, to make half a dozen ordinary modern country gentlemen
popular; still his one failing, shared among the same number, might
no less damn them in the eyes of society.
Some would, no doubt, have liked Dibdin’s heroes better if he had
been less truthful, by making the language more agreeable to the
ear, by substituting, as one writer has said, “dear me” for “damme,”
and lemonade for grog; but such critics are what Dibdin himself
called “lubbers” and “swabs.” In the same way, some would be for
toning down the characters of Squire Forester and Parson Stephens;
but this would be a mistake: an artist might as well smooth over
with vegetation every out-cropping rock he finds in his foreground.
We might say a great deal more about the old Squire, and the Willey
Rector too, but there is no reason why we should say less. If we err,
we err with the best and gravest writers of history, who, without fear
or favour, wrote of things as they found them; and those who are
familiar with the writings of men of the past—such as the Sixth
Satire of Juvenal, will admit that men like Squire Forester were
examples of modesty. Men of all grades, every day, are brought in
contact with much that might more strongly be objected to in the
public Press; and there is no reason why the veil should not be
raised in order that we may view the past as it really was.
The fact is, the Squire found the atmosphere of the times congenial
to his temperament. A very popular Shropshire rake and play writer,
Wycherley, had done much to lower the tone of morality by
representing peccadilloes, not as something which the violence of
passion may excuse, but as accomplishments worthy of gentlemen,
—his “Country Wife” and “Plain Dealer” being examples. Congreve
followed in his wake, with his “Old Bachelor,” which may be judged
by its apothegm:—

“What rugged ways attend the noon of life;

Our sun declines, and with what anxious strife,
What pain, we tug that galling load—a wife!”

A fair estimate of the looseness of the time may be formed from

another representation:—

“The miracle to-day is, that we find

A lover true, not that a woman’s kind;”

and from the fact that even Pope, in his “Epistle to a Lady,” out of
his mature experience could write—

“Men some to business, some to pleasure take,

But every woman is at heart a rake.”

The Squire had been jilted, and breathing such an atmosphere, no

wonder he cast lingering looks to the time
 “Ere one to one was cursedly confined,”

or that he never married. It is fortunate he did not, for Venus

herself, we fancy, could not have kept him by her side. His amours
were notorious, and some of his mistresses were rare specimens of
rustic beauty. Two daring spirits who followed the hounds were
regular Dianas in their way, and he spent much of his time in the
rural little cottages of these and others which were dotted over the
estate at no great distance from the Hall. As rare Ben Jonson has it:
—

“When some one peculiar quality

Doth so possess a man that it doth draw
All his effects, his spirits, and his powers,
In their confluction all to run one way,
This may be truly said to be a humour.”

Such a humour the old Squire had. Towards the last he found that
some of his mistresses gave him a good deal of trouble; for in
carrying out his desire to leave them comfortably provided for, his
best intentions created jealousy, and he found it difficult to adjust
their claims as regarded matters of income, Phœbe Higgs, who
survived the Squire many years, and lived in a cottage with land
attached, on the Willey side of the Shirlot, being the most
clamorous. She set out one night with the intention of shooting the
Squire, but was unnerved by her favourite monkey, who had
stealthily gone on before, and jumped unobserved on her shoulder
as she opened a gate. On another occasion she succeeded in
surprising the Squire by forcing her way into his room and pointing a
loaded pistol at him across the table, vowing she would shoot him
unless he promised to make the sum left for her maintenance equal
to that of Miss Cal—t. He had his children educated; they frequently
visited at the Hall, and some married well. He speaks of them as his
children and grandchildren in his letters, and manifested the greatest
anxiety that everything should be done that could be done, by
provisions in his will for those he was about to leave behind him.
Indeed the same characteristics which gave a colouring to his life
distinguished him to the last; and if the old fires burnt less brightly,
the same inner sense and outward manifestations were evident in all
he did.
One thing which troubled him was the chancel of Barrow Church, as
will be seen by the following characteristic letter to his agent, Mr.
Pritchard, asking him to procure a legal opinion about certain
encroachments upon what he conceived to be his rights, and those
of the parishioners:—

“Dear Sir,—
“You must remember Parson Jones has oft been talking to me
about the pews put up, unfairly, I think, in the chancel of
Barrow church. The whole of the chancel is mine as patron,
and I am always obliged to do all the repairs to it, whenever
wanted. There is a little small pew in it of very ancient date,
besides these other two; in this, I suppose, it is intended to
thrust poor me, the patron, into; humble and meek, and
deprived of every comfort on my own spot, the chancel. The
parson, you know, has been saucy on the occasion, as you
know all black Toms are, and therefore I’ll now know my power
from Mr. Mytton, and set the matter straight somehow or other.
I can safely swear at this minute a dozen people of this parish
(crowd as they will) can’t receive the Sacrament together, and
therefore, instead of there being pews of any kind therein, there
ought to be none at all, but a free unencumbered chancel at
this hour. Rather than be as it is, I’ll be at the expense of
pulling the present chancel down, rebuilding and enlarging it, so
as to make all convenient and clever, before I’ll suffer these
encroachments attended with every insult upon earth. Surely
upon a representation to the bishop that the present chancel is
much too small, and that the patron, at his own expense,
wishes to enlarge it, I cannot think but it will be comply’d with.
 If this is not Mr. Mytton’s opinion as the best way, what is? and
how am I to manage these encroaches?
“Yours ever,
—
“P.S.—If the old chancel is taken down, I’ll take care that no
pew shall stand in the new one. Mr. Mytton will properly turn
this in his mind, and I’ll then face the old kit of them boldly.
The old pew I spoke of, besides the other two in the chancel
(mean and dirty as it is to a degree), yet the parson wants to
let, if he does not do so now, to any person that comes to
church, no matter who, so long as he gets the cash. It’s so
small no one can sit with bended knees in it; and, in short, the
whole chancel is not more than one-half as big as the little room
I am now seated in; which must apparently show you, and, on
your representation, Mr. Mytton likewise, how much too small it
must be for so large a parish as Barrow, and with the addition
of three pews—one very large indeed, the next to hold two or
three people abreast, and the latter about three sideways,
always standing, and totally unable to kneel in the least
comfort.”

Years were beginning to tell upon the old sportsman, reminding him
that his career was drawing to a close, and he appeared to
apprehend the truth Sir Thomas Brown embodied in the remark, that
every hour adds to the current arithmetic, which scarce stands one
moment; and since “the longest sun sets at right declensions,” he
looked forward to that setting and made arrangements accordingly,
which were in perfect keeping with the character of the man. He felt
that his day was done, that night was coming on; and it was his
wish that those who knew him best should be those chosen to
attend his funeral, that his domestics and servants who had
experienced his kindness should carry him to the tomb. And let it be
when the sun goes down, when the work of the day is done; let
each have a guinea, that he may meet his neighbour afterwards and
talk over, if he likes, the merits and demerits of his old master, as
none—next to his Maker—know them better. The provisions in the
will of the old Squire, in which he left his estates to his cousin Cecil,
afterwards Lord Forester, father of the present Right Hon. Lord
Forester, made about five years before his death, were evidently
made in this spirit.
He became ill at one of his cottages on Shirlot, was taken home,
attended by Dr. Thursfield (grandfather of the present Greville
Thursfield, M.D.), and died whilst the doctor was still with him, on
the 13th of July, 1811, in the seventy-third year of his age.

Extracts from the last Will and Testament (dated the 3rd day of
November, 1805) of George Forester, late of Willey, in the
County of Salop, Esquire.
“I desire that all my just debts and funeral expenses, and the
charges of proving this my Will, may be paid and discharged by
my Executors hereinafter named, with all convenient speed after
my decease, and that my body may be interred in a grave near
the Communion table in the Parish Church of Willey aforesaid,
or as near thereto as may be, in a plain and decent manner.
And it is my Will that eight of my Servants or Workmen be
employed as Bearers of my body to the grave, to each of whom
I bequeath the sum of One Guinea, and I desire my Cousin Cecil
Forester, of Ross Hall, in the County of Salop, Esquire, Member
of Parliament for the Town and Liberties of Wenlock, in the
same County, the eldest son of my late uncle, Colonel Cecil
Forester, deceased, to fix upon and appoint six of those of my
friends and companions in the neighbourhood of Willey
aforesaid, whom he knew to have been intimate with, and
respected by, me, to be Bearers of the Pall at my funeral, and I
request that my body may be carried to its burial-place in the
dusk of the evening.
 “And I do hereby direct that my chestnut horse, commonly
called the Aldenham horse, shall be shot as soon as
conveniently may be after my decease by two persons, one of
whom to fire first, and the other to wait in reserve and fire
immediately afterwards, so that he may be put to death as
expeditiously as possible, and I direct that he shall afterwards
be buried with his hide on, and that a flat stone without
inscription shall be placed over him. And I do hereby request
my Cousin Cecil Forester and the said John Pritchard, as soon as
conveniently may be after my decease, to look over and inspect
the letters, papers, and writings belonging to me at the time of
my decease, and such of them as they shall deem to be useless
I desire them to destroy.”

His wishes, we need scarcely say, were carried out to the letter. He
was buried by torchlight in the family vault in Willey Church, beneath
the family pew, to which the steps shown in our engraving lead.
Founded and endowed by the lords of Willey at some remote period,
this venerable edifice has remained, with the exception of its
chancel, the same as we see it, for many generations past. It
stands within the shadow of the Old Hall, and might from its
appearance have formed the text of Gray’s ivy-mantled tower, where

“The moping owl does to the moon complain;”

being covered with a luxuriant growth of this clinging evergreen to

the very top. Standing beneath, and peering through the Norman-
looking windows, which admit but a sober light, glimpses are
obtained of costly monuments with the names and titles of patrons
whose escutcheons are visible against the wall. The Squire’s tomb
remains uninscribed; but in 1821 Cecil Weld, the first Lord Forester,
erected a marble tablet near, with the simple record—“To the
memory of my late cousin and benefactor, George Forester, Esq.,
Willey Park, May 10, 1821.”
 THE SQUIRE’S CHESTNUT MARE.

A NEW HUNTING SONG.

Written for the present Work by J. P. Douglas, Esq.

Away we go! my mare and I,

Over fallow and lea:
She’s carried me twenty years or nigh—
The best of friends are we.
With steady stride she sweeps along,
The old Squire on her back:
While echoes far, earth’s sweetest sound,
The music of the pack.
Ah! how they stare, both high and low,
To see the “Willey chestnut” go.
Full many a time, from dewy morn
Until the day was done,
We’ve follow’d the huntsman’s ringing horn,
Proud of a gallant run.
Well in the front, my mare and I—
A good ’un to lead is she;
For’ard, hark for’ard! still the cry—
In at the death are we.
My brave old mare—when I’m laid low
Shall never another master know.
The sailor fondly loves his ship,
The gallant loves his lass;
The toper drains with fever’d lip,
His deep, full-bottom’d glass.
Away! such hollow joys I scorn,
But give to me, I pray,
The cry of the hounds, the sounding horn,
For’ard! hark, hark away!
And this our burial chant shall be,
For the chestnut mare shall die with me!
 APPENDIX.

A.—Page 10.
Strutt, quoting from the book of St. Alban’s the sort of birds
assigned to the different ranks of persons, places them in the
following order:—
The eagle, the vulture, and the melona for an emperor.
The ger-falcon and the tercel of the ger-falcon for a king.
The falcon gentle and the tercel gentle for a prince.
The falcon of the rock for a duke.
The falcon peregrine for an earl.
The bastard for a baron.
The sacre and the sacret for a knight.
The lanere and the laneret for an esquire.
The marlyon for a lady.
The hobby for a young man.
The gos-hawk for a yeoman.
The tercel for a poor man.
The sparrow-hawk for a priest.
The musket for a holy-water clerk.
The kesterel for a knave or a servant.
Of some of the later and milder measures taken to protect the hawk,
it may be remarked that the 5th of Elizabeth, c. 21, enacts that if
any person shall unlawfully take any hawks, or their eggs, out of the
woods or ground of any person, and be thereof convicted at the
assizes or sessions on indictment, bill or information at the suit of
the king, or of the party, he shall be imprisoned three months, and
pay treble damages, and after the expiration of three months shall
find sureties for his good abearing for seven years, or remain in
prison till he doth, § 3.
The last statute concerning falconry (except a clause in 7 Jac. c. 11,
which limits the time of hawking at pheasants and partridges) is that
of the 23rd Eliz. c. 10, which enacts that if any manner of person
shall hawk in another man’s corn after it is eared, and before it is
shocked, and be therefore convicted at the assizes, sessions, or leet,
he shall pay 40s. to the owner, and if not paid within ten days he
shall be imprisoned for a month.

Mr. Eyton, to whose learned and valuable work on the “Antiquities of
Shropshire” the author again acknowledges his obligations, as all
who follow that painstaking writer must do, with regard to the
holding at the More, says, “The earliest notice of this tenure which
occurs in the Roll of Shropshire Sergeantries, is dated 13th of John,
1211, and merely says that Richard de Medler holds one virgate of
land, and renders for the same annually, at the Feast of St. Michael,
two knives (knifeulos). A second contemporary roll supplies the
place of payment, viz., the Exchequer; a third writes the name,
Richard le Mener. In 1245 Nicholas de More is said to pay at the
Exchequer two knives (cultellos)—one good, the other very bad—for
certain land which he holds of the King in capite in More. In 1255
the Stottesden Jurors report that Nicholas de Medler holds one
virgate in More, in capite of the Lord King, rendering at the
Exchequer two knives, one of which ought to cut a hazel rod, and he
does no other service for the said land. In that of 1274 Jurors of the
same Hundred say at length that Nicholas de la More holds one
virgate in that vill of the Lord King, in capite, by sergeantry, of taking
two knives to the King’s Exchequer, at the feast of St. Michael in
each year, so that he ought to cut a hazel rod with one knife, so that
the knife should bend (plicare) with the stroke; and again, to cut a
rod with the other knife. The record of 1284 describes Nicholas de
la More as holding three parts of a virgate and two moors, by
sergeantry, &c. The Jurors of Oct. 1292 say that William de la More,
of Erdington, holds one virgate in the More, by sergeantry of taking
two knives to the King’s Exchequer on the morrow of St. Michael,
and to cut with the same knives two hazel rods.”

C—Page 49.
This bold projecting rock is called, from Major Thomas, “Smallman’s
Leap,” from a tradition that the major, a staunch Royalist, being
surprised by a party of Cromwell’s horse, was singly and hotly
pursued over Westwood, where, finding all hope of escape at an
end, he turned from the road, hurried his horse into a full gallop to
the edge of the precipice, and went over. The horse was killed by
falling on the trees beneath, but the major escaped, and secreted
himself in the woods. Certain historical facts, showing that the
family long resided here, appear to give a colouring to this tradition.
Thus, in the reign of Henry III. (57th year) William Smallman had a
lease from John Lord of Brockton par Shipton, Corvedale, of 17½
acres of land, with a sytche, called Woolsytche, and two parcels of
meadow in the fields of Brockton. John Smallman possessed by
lease and grant, from Thomas de la Lake, 30 acres of land in the
fields of Larden par Shipton, for twenty years from the feast of St.
Michael, living 4th Edward II. (1310) 41st Edward III. (1367),
Richard Smallman, of Shipton, granted to Roger Powke, of Brockton,
all his lands and tenements in the township and fields of Shipton, as
fully as was contained in an original deed. Witnesses—John de
Galford, Sir Roger Mon (Chaplain), Henry de Stanwy, John
Tyklewardyne (Ticklarton), of Stanton, John de Gurre of the same,
with others. 1st Henry VI. (1422), John Smallman was intrusted
with the collection of the subsidies of taxes payable to the Crown
within the franchise of Wenlock. Thomas Smallman, of Elton, co.
Harford, and Inner Temple, barrister-at-law, afterwards a Welsh
judge, purchased the manor of Wilderhope, Stanway, and the teg
and estates, and had a numerous grant of arms, 5th October, 1589.
Major Thomas Smallman, a staunch royalist, born 1624,
compounded for his estate £140.
Underneath this bold projecting headland, sometimes called “Ipikin’s
Rock,” is Ipikin’s Cave, an excavation very difficult of approach,
where tradition alleges a bold outlaw long concealed himself and his
horse, and from which he issued to make some predatory excursion.
The term hope, both as a prefix and termination, is of such frequent
occurrence here that it is only natural to suppose that it has some
special signification; and looking at the positions of Presthope,
Easthope, Millichope, Middlehope, Wilderhope, Hopesay, and Hope
Bowdler, that signification appears to be a recess, or place remote
between the hills. Easthope is a rural little village about two miles
beyond Ipikin’s Rock, pleasantly situated in one of these long natural
troughs which follow the direction of Wenlock Edge.
It appears to have been within the Long Forest, and is mentioned in
Domesday as being held in Saxon times by Eruni and Uluric; it was
afterwards held by Edric de Esthop, and others of the same name.
There was a church here as early as 1240, and in the graveyard,
between two ancient yews, are two tombs, without either date or
inscription, in which two monks connected with the Abbey of
Wenlock are supposed to have been interred.
Near Easthope, and about midway between Larden Hall and
Lutwyche Hall, is an enclosure comprising about eight acres, or an
encampment, forming nearly an entire circle, surrounded by inner
and outer fosses. The internal slope of the inner wall is 12 feet, and
externally 25, while the crest of the parapet is 6 feet broad. The
relief of the second vallum rises 10 feet from the fosse, and is about
12 feet across its parapet. There is also a second ditch, but it is
almost obliterated. It is supposed to have been a military post,
forming an important link in the chain of British entrenchments
which stretched throughout this portion of the county. Near it a
mound resembling a tumulus was opened some years since by the
Rev. R. More and T. Mytton, Esq., and in or near which a British urn
of baked clay was discovered, on another occasion, while making a
drain.

“Proavus meus Richardus de isto matrimonio susceptus uxorem
habuit Annam Richardi dicti Forestarii filiam qui quidem
Richardus filius erat natu minor prænobilis familiæ
Forestariorum (olim Regiorum Vigorniensis saltûs custodum) et

E.—Pedigree of the Forester Family, Page 69.

In his “Sheriffs of Shropshire,” Mr. Blakeway in speaking of the
Forester family, says: “They were originally Foresters, an office much
coveted by our ancestors, which latter seems probable, from the
fact, that on the Pipe Rolls of 1214, Hugh Forester accounts for a
hundred merks that he may hold the bailiwick of the forest of
Salopscire, as his father held it before him.” King John, however,
remits thirty merks of the payment in consequence of Hugh having
taken to wife the niece of John l’Estrange, at His Majesty’s request.
It does not seem clear, however, that Hugh, the son of Robert, can
be traced to have been in the direct line of the Willey family, he
having been ancestor to Roger, son of John, the first of the king’s six
foresters. The other, Robert de Wellington, the late Mr. George
Morris, in his “Genealogies of the Principal Landed Proprietors,” now
in the possession of T. C. Eyton, Esq., to whose kindness we are
indebted for this extract, says was the earliest person that can
certainly be called ancestor of the present family of Forester. His
sergeantry is described as the custody of the King’s Hay of Eyton, of
which, and several adjoining manors, Peter de Eyton, lineal ancestor
of the present Thomas Campbell Eyton, of Eyton, and grandson of
Robert de Eyton, who gave the whole of the Buttery estate to
Shrewsbury Abbey, was the lord.
Thomas, a son of Robert Forester of Wellington, in the Hundred
Rolls, in 1254, is said by the king’s justices itinerant to hold half a
virgate of the king to keep the Hay of Wellington. Roger le Forester
of Wellington, who succeeded Robert, appears to have died 1277–8,
and to have left two sons, Robert and Roger. Robert had property in
Wellington and the Bailiwick of the forest of the Wrekin, and is
supposed to have succeeded his father, whom he did not long
survive, having died the year following, 1278–9. Roger his brother
succeeded to his possession, and held also the Hay of Wellington, of
which he died seized in 1284–5. Robert, the Forester of Wellington,
Mr. Blakeway says, occurs in the Hundred Roll of Bradford in 1287,
and is shown to have held the Hay of Wellington till 1292–3, when
Roger, son of Roger, proving himself of age, paid the king one merk
as a relief for his lands in Wellington, held by sergeantry, to keep
Wellington Hay, in the forest of the Wrekin, &c. This is the Roger de
Wellington before-mentioned, as one of King Edward’s foresters by
fee, recorded in his Great Charter of the forests of Salopssier, in the
perambulation of 1300. He died 1331.
John le Forester, as John, son and heir of Roger le Forester de
Welynton, succeeded to the property, and proved himself of age in
the reign of Edward III., 1335. With John de Eyton he attested a
grant in Wellington, and died 24th of Edward III., 1350.
William le Forester succeeded his father, John, in 1377, and died
19th of Richard II., 1395.
In 1397 Roger Forester de Wellington is described as holding
Wellington Hay and Chace. He died in 1402.
Roger, his son and heir, was in 1416 appointed keeper of the same
haia by the Duchess of Norfolk and the Lady Bergavenny, sisters and
co-heiresses of the great Thomas Fitz-Alan, Earl of Arundel.
His son and successor, John, died 5th of Edward IV. 1465, seized of
the lands, &c., in Wellington, and the custody of the forest of the
Wrekin. He had two sons, William and John, also a son Richard; and
William, son of the above, appears to have been the father of
another John, the former John having died without issue. John, in
1506, witnesses a deed of Thomas Cresset, as John Forester the
younger; he married Joice Upton, the heiress of Philip Upton, of
Upton under Haymond, and obtained the estate of that place, which
is still inherited by his descendants.
This John Forester first resided in Watling Street, where his
ancestors for several generations had lived, in the old timbered
mansion, now occupied by Dr. Cranage, but he afterwards removed
to Easthope, whilst his son William resided at Upton; and Richard
Forester, alias Forster of Sutton Maddock, secretary to Bishop
Bonner, who built the old mansion in Bridgnorth, called “Forester’s
Folly,” which was burnt down during the siege of the castle, when
the high town became a heap of ruins, appears to have been a son
of John Forester, of Easthope; and Anthony Forester or Foster of Sir
Walter Scott’s novel, who was born about 1510, was a son of his.
In the 34th of Henry VIII., 1542–3, Thomas Foster and Elizabeth his
wife, account in the Exchequer for several temporalities in
connection with the monastery of St. Peter’s, Shrewsbury. Sir
William Forester, KB., married Lady Mary Cecil, daughter of James,
third Earl of Salisbury. He was a staunch Protestant, and
represented the county with George Weld, as previously stated, with
whom he voted in favour of the succession of the House of Hanover,
and the family came into possession of the Willey estates by the
marriage of Brook Forester of Dothill Park, with one of the Welds,
the famous George Forester, the Willey Squire, being the fruit of that
marriage. George Forester left the whole of his estates to his
cousin, Cecil Forester, of Ross Hall, who was allowed by George the
Fourth, whose personal friendship he had been permitted to enjoy
for many years, to add the name of Weld in 1821. Cecil Weld
Forester, Esq., was ennobled the same year by George the Fourth,
who, when Prince of Wales, honoured him with a visit at Ross Hall.
He married Catherine, daughter of His Grace the fourth Duke of
Rutland, and was not less renowned than his cousin, as a
sportsman. His eagerness for the chase was happily characterised
by the late Mr. Meynell, who used to say, “First out of cover came
Cecil Forester, next the fox, and then my hounds.” A famous leap of
his, thirty feet across a stream, on his famous horse Bernardo, has
been recorded in some lines now at Willey which accompany the
portrait of the horse. He is supposed to have been one of the first
who instituted the present system of hard riding to hounds, and a
horse known to have been ridden by him, it is said, would at any
time fetch £20 more than the ordinary price. Speaking of the classic
proportions of a horse, and the perfection of the art of riding in
connection with his lordship as a sportsman, Colonel Apperley,
remarked some years ago, “Unless a man sits gracefully on his
horse, and handles him well, that fine effect is lost. As the poet
says, he would be incorporated with the brave beast, and such does
Lord Forester appear to be. His eye to a country is also remarkably
quick, and his knowledge of Leicestershire has given him no small
advantage. On one occasion he disregarded the good old English
custom of ‘looking before you leap,’ and landed in the middle of a
deep pool. ‘Hold on,’ a countryman who saw him, shouted to others
coming in the same direction. ‘Hold your tongue—say nothing, we
shall have it full in a minute,’ said Lord Forester.” The Colonel added,
“In consequence of residing in Shropshire, a country which has been
so long famous for its breed of horses, he has a good opportunity of
mounting himself well. He always insisted on the necessity of
lengthy shoulders, good fetlocks, well formed hind legs and open
feet; and knowing better than to confound strength and size, his
horses seldom exceeded fifteen hands. On anything relating to a
hunter his authority has long been considered classic, and if Forester
said so it was enough. Lord Forester will always stand pre-eminent
in the field, whilst in private life he is a very friendly man, and has
ever adhered to those principles of honour and integrity which
characterise the gentleman.” He died on the 23rd of May, 1828, in
his 61st year. He had, as we have said, ten children, the gallant
Frank Forester, as Colonel Apperley styles him, being one. The
oldest was the present Right Hon. J. G. W. Forester, whose
popularity in connection with the Belvoir Hunt is so well known.
His lordship, whose portrait we give at the commencement of this
work, and who is now in the 73rd year of his age, has added very
much to the Willey estates, both by purchase and by improvements,
and is very much esteemed by his tenantry.
The Right Hon. General Forester, who succeeded his brother in the
representation of Wenlock, has sat for the borough for forty-five
years, and is now the Father of the House of Commons. Whether
out-door exercises, associated with the pleasures of the chase, to
which the ancestors of the Foresters have devoted themselves for so
many centuries, have anything to do with it or not we cannot say;
but the Foresters are remarkable for masculine and feminine beauty,
and the General has frequently been spoken of by the press as the
best looking man in the House of Commons. Neither he nor his
elder brother, the present Rt. Hon. Lord Forester, are likely to leave
behind them direct issue. The younger brother, the Hon. and Rev.
O. W. W. Forester, has one son, Cecil, who has several sons to
perpetuate the name of Forester, which we hope will long be
associated with Willey.
