[C] BEACONSFIELD is a small place, although it is one of great

thoroughfare, but the market is almost wholly disused; in fact, Wycombe

and Uxbridge appear to have drawn away the business. The manor,

anciently an estate of the Windsors, afterwards became the property of

the Monks of Burnham Abbey, a building but a few miles distant. Edmund

Waller, the poet, was born at Coleshill, in this neighbourhood, at which

place see his life; he was proprietor of the very pleasing seat, called

Hall Barns, an ancient mansion belonging to the family; he lies buried

in the churchyard, and a monument has been erected to his memory, with a

latin inscription, too long and too dry to be given in our work.

Gregories, in this parish, was the seat of the celebrated Edmund Burke,

who, for critical taste and brilliancy of language, will ever be ranked

amongst the most fascinating of English writers. His company was sought

for by all who could make the slightest pretension to kindred genius. He

died in this town, and was buried in the church, where a marble tablet

is set up, with a short inscription, to his memory. The apartments at

Butler's Court, formerly Gregories, contained some fine paintings, by

Sir Joshua Reynolds, and some valuable marbles. This seat, we believe,

came into the possession of Mr. Burke through the friendship of Lord

Verney and the Marquis of Rockingham, by whose munificence he was

enabled to purchase it. The widow of the late Mr. Burke continued to

reside at Butler's Court till the period of her death, which took place

a few years after that of her late husband; the mansion and estate was

afterwards purchased by James Dupre, Esq., who let the house to the

master of a boarding-school, and in whose occupation it was destroyed by

fire: the grounds have since been adapted to the purpose of agriculture.

For the following interesting sketch of the illustrious and

distinguished statesman, (Burke,) we are indebted to Dr. Watkin's

Biographical Dictionary:--"He was born at Dublin, in 1730. His father

was an attorney, and a Protestant. The son received his education under

Abraham Shackleton, a Quaker, who kept a school at Ballytore, near

Carlow, and it is recorded to the honour of Mr. Burke, that whenever he

visited Ireland he always paid his respects to his old tutors: in 1746

he entered as a scholar at Trinity College, which he left on taking his

bachelor's degree in 1749, and soon after became candidate for the

professorship of logic at Glasgow, but did not succeed. In 1753 he

entered of the Middle Temple, where he applied more to general

literature than to the law, and supported himself by writing for the

booksellers. Falling ill, through too close an application to his

studies, he removed to the house of Dr. Nugent, a physician, whose

daughter he afterwards married. In 1756 he published a pamphlet,

entitled, "A Vindication of Natural Society." This piece was purposely

drawn up in the manner of Lord Bolingbroke, and for a time imposed upon

the friends of that writer as his real productions. His next performance

was the Essay on the Sublime and Beautiful, published in 1757. This

philosophical piece of criticism, written in a fine and elegant style,

procured the author a great reputation, and the esteem of the first

literary characters of the age; the principal of whom was Dr. Johnson.

In 1758, he suggested to Mr. Dodsley, the bookseller, the plan of the

"Annual Register," the historical part of which he wrote for several

years. In 1761 he went to Ireland as the companion of his friend Mr.

Hamilton, secretary to the Earl of Halifax, then Lord-Lieutenant. That

gentleman, who was generally known by the name of Single-speech

Hamilton, from the circumstance of his making only one speech in

parliament, but one of uncommon eloquence, procured him a pension of

L300. on the Irish establishment. On his return from Ireland he was made

private secretary to the Marquis of Rockingham, First Lord of the

Treasury, who brought him into parliament for Wendover. The Rockingham

party continued in power but a short time, and on going out of office,

Mr. Burke wrote a forcible pamphlet upon the subject, entitled, "A Short

Account of a Short Administration;" after which, he became an active

member of the opposition, as a senator and also as a writer. A pamphlet

of his, entitled, "Thoughts on the Causes of the present Discontents,"

excited considerable interest as a bold exposure of court intrigues and

favourites, in controlling the operations of ministers. In the struggle

between Great Britain and the colonies, Mr. Burke bore a distinguished

part as an opponent to the ministry. His speeches were vehement, and had

so powerful an influence upon the people, that the citizens of Bristol,

in 1774, invited him to be one of their representatives, without his

being at the least expense. But at the next election in 1780, he was

rejected by them for having supported the Irish petition for a free

trade, and the bill for relieving Roman Catholics. He was then returned

for Malton, in Yorkshire. At this time he gained great popularity by his

introduction of a bill for a reform in the national expenditure, on

which he spent prodigious labour, but it was unsuccessful. When the

Marquis of Rockingham returned to power on the resignation of Lord

North, in 1782, Mr. Burke obtained the post of Paymaster-general of the

Forces, and a seat in the Privy Council; but this was of short duration,

for on the death of his patron, Lord Shelbourne became First Lord of the

Treasury, and Mr. Burke, with several of his friends, resigned their

places. In the coalition, which for a little while succeeded the

Shelbourne administration, Mr. Burke had his share both of emolument and

abuse. The leading particulars of his political life, after this, were

his exertions against Mr. Hastings, in which he manifested uncommon

industry to fasten guilt upon that gentleman, with no small share of

personal asperity; his vigorous opposition to Mr. Pitt's design of

forming a limited regency on the King's illness in 1788; and above all,

his ardour against the actors and defenders of the French revolution. On

the latter subject he evinced peculiar sagacity at the outset, and when

many worthy men were rejoicing at the prospect of rising liberty and

happiness to the world, Mr. Burke predicted, with remarkable precision,

the desolation, bloodshed, anarchy, and misery which ensued. He

displayed his detestation of the revolutionists in the House of Commons,

and separated himself in consequence from Mr. Fox, and many other of his

old associates. In 1790 he published his famous "Reflections on the

Revolution in France," which attracted wonderful attention, and produced

a surprising effect upon the public mind. Many publications appeared in

answer to this book; the most noted of which was Paine's pamphlet,

entitled "The Rights of Man," wherein the principles of republicanism

were so artfully addressed to the feelings of ordinary persons, as to

excite for a time no small alarm to the friends of government. Mr.

Burke, after this, published a variety of pamphlets in support of his

positions: as, "A Letter to a Member of the National Assembly;" "An

Appeal from the New Whigs to the Old;" "Thoughts on a Regicide peace,"

&c. His zeal on this occasion, as well as his extraordinary talents,

recommended him to the royal favour, and he obtained a pension, which

gave room for those who had been galled by his arguments, to reproach

him, and some illiberal animadversions were made upon him in the senate,

which drew from him that admirable defence, his "Letter to a Noble

Lord," in which he retaliates upon a celebrated Duke in a strain of keen

irony and dignified remonstrance. Mr. Burke withdrew from parliament in

1794, leaving his seat for Malton to his son, an accomplished young man,

who died shortly after. This melancholy event hastened his death, which

happened the 8th of July, 1797. A little before his death he caused to

be read to him Addison's paper in the Spectator, on the Immortality of

the Soul. Mr. Burke was very amiable in his private life, of correct

deportment, faithful in his attachments; charitable to the poor, and

religious without being superstitious. He had a fine taste for the arts,

and was fond of gardening and architecture," Bulstrode, the seat of the

Duke of Portland, is within three miles of the town; a more detailed

account of this elegant mansion will be given in a future portion of our

work.

[A] BEAMINSTER is a town of very great antiquity; it is situated on a

fertile spot near the banks of the small river Birt. The prebendaries of

Salisbury were formerly lords of the manor, until the parliamentary

commissioners (who appear to have made very free with church property)

seized it, and for a time it passed into other hands, but it was only

for a time: the right at length became acknowledged, and in the

possession of the prebendaries of Sarum it now remains. This town has

suffered much by the devastation of fire, and still more by the

destructive sword of civil, or rather uncivil, warfare. Britton speaks

of a record of the former being preserved in a blank leaf of an old

Bible, in the possession of a gentleman of this town, which memorandum

ran as follows:--"The towne of Beaminster was burnt on Palme Sunday,

being the 14th day of April, and in the year of our Lord 1644. At the

same time prince Maurice, being in the towne seven dayes before the

fire, and there continued till the fire burnt him out of his quarters.

The fire was first kindled in John Sergeant's house, in North-street; it

was a musket discharged in the gable; and it was wild-fire, and the

winde lying directly with the towne, the whole place was destroyed in

two hours; and those goods for the most part which were saved out of the

fire were carried away by the soldiers. There were seven score and four

dwelling-houses, besides barns and stables, burnt." An eye-witness in

Sir Thomas Fairfax's army describes it as "a place of the pitifullest

spectacle that man can behold; hardly a house left not consumed by

fire." Two thousand pounds were granted by the parliament to assist in

re-building the town: this, with other sums, raised by the neighbouring

gentry, answered the purpose. But it appears that the place was doomed

to destruction, for in June, 1684, it was again consumed, and the loss

is said to have amounted to L10,000.: nor did its misfortunes end here,

for in the gusty month of March, in the year 1781, upwards of fifty

dwelling-houses, besides barns, stables, and other buildings, were

reduced to ruins in the short space of three hours. Mrs. Tucker founded

a free-school here, in 1684, for the purpose of affording education to

twenty of the poorest boys in the town; three or four of these boys were

to be apprenticed annually, and it is necessary that one of these, at

least, should become a seaman. The Rev. Mr. Samuel Hood, father of Lord

Hood, was master of this school in the year 1715. The inhabitants are

principally engaged in the manufacture of sail-cloth, and in the

production of iron, tin, and copper ware. The work-house is a large

commodious building; formerly an alms-house.

[B] BEAUDESERT. This place is situated in the hundred of Barlichway. The

church is dedicated to St. Nicholas, and exhibits some good specimens of

ancient architecture. The village was the birth-place of Richard Jago,

the poet, who was the son of the rector: he was born in 1715, and was

educated at Solihull grammar-school, about eleven miles distant from

this place. His first poetical production which attracted notice was an

"Elegy on the Death of a Blackbird," and this was followed by a poem,

descriptive of the "Battle of Edgehill," which is considered the most

finished of his works: the subject was in all probability suggested by

his residence in the neighbourhood of the scene of action. He died on

the 8th of April, 1781.

[A] BEAULIEU. The river Exe, over which there is a bridge, is navigable

up to this village. Here is a manufacture of coarse sacking. The ruins

of Beaulieu Abbey are beautifully situated on the eastern banks of the

river. The delightful valley which surrounds these venerable remains, is

of a circular form, bounded by well-wooded hills, and in itself,

consists of a rich variety of ground. The Abbey was founded, A.D. 1204,

by King John, for monks of the Cistercian order; a class of friars to

which that monarch had been previously particularly adverse. The king,

it is said, after various oppressive measures exercised against the

Cistercians, summoned the Abbots and principals of that order, to

Lincoln, whither they hastened, flattering themselves that he would

there confer upon them some marks of his grace and favor. Instead of

this, say the monkish historians, "the savage monarch ordered the Abbots

to be trodden to death, by horses: but none of his attendants being

found sufficiently cruel to obey the sanguinary command, the

ecclesiastics, dreadfully alarmed, retired hastily to their inn. In the

course of the ensuing night, when the monarch slumbered on his bed, he

dreamt that he was standing before a Judge, accompanied by the

Cistercian Abbots, who were commanded to scourge him severely with rods

and thongs; and when he awoke in the morning, he declared that he still

felt the smart of the beating. On relating this dream to a certain

ecclesiastic of his court, he was advised to crave pardon of the Abbots,

whom he had before so barbarously treated; and assured, that the

Almighty had been infinitely merciful to him, in thus revealing the

mysteries of his dispensations, and affording him paternal correction.

The king, adopting this counsel, ordered the Abbots to attend him; and,

contrary to their expectations, received them with kindness:" and the

remembrance of his dream still continuing to influence his conduct, he

shortly after granted a charter for the foundation of the Abbey of

Beaulieu. It was greatly enriched by succeeding grants; and at the

Dissolution, its possessions were estimated at the annual value of L428.

6s. 8d. The manor of Beaulieu, with all its rights, privileges, and

appurtenances, (the rectory and right of patronage excepted), was

granted to Thomas Wriothesley, Esq. afterwards Earl of Southampton. The

circumference of the manor embraces an extent of 28 miles, and the clear

annual revenue amounts to between L4000 and L5000. The immediate

precincts of the Abbey were encircled by a stone wall, the remains of

which are richly mantled with ivy. An edifice, nearly square, now called

the palace, but originally built for the Abbot's lodging, was converted

into a family seat after the Dissolution. Over the entrance is a

canopied niche, in which stood the image of the Virgin Mary. The hall is

a well proportioned room, handsomely vaulted, the ribs springing from

pilasters, and spreading over the roof in beautiful ramifications.

Eastward from this edifice is a long building, supposed from the extent

and height of the apartments, to have been the dormitory; beneath it are

several good cellars. The ancient kitchen is also standing, and near it

is the refectory, a plain stone edifice, with strong buttresses: this is

now the parish church of Beaulieu; the Abbey church, which stood to the

north-east, having been entirely destroyed. On the west side is the

ancient rostrum, or pulpit, from which lectures were read when the monks

were assembled at their meals below. The site of the Abbey Church may be

traced by the unevenness of the ground; but not a vestige of the

building is remaining. Fragments of demolished tombs are occasionally

dug up here, this having been the burial-place of various illustrious

and noble personages, and among them, Queen Eleanor, mother of King

John. Some traces of the cloisters are yet distinguishable. Whilst

Beaulieu Abbey was invested with the privilege of a sanctuary, its walls

afforded a temporary protection to Margaret of Anjou, Queen of Henry

VI.; who, returning from the continent, in expectation of being

reinstated in her former dignity, was informed of the imprisonment of

her husband, the destruction of his army, and the death of the Earl of

Warwick, and the elevation to the throne of Edward IV. Another

celebrated fugitive, to whom this abbey afforded sanctuary, was Perkin

Warbeck, who, after many vicissitudes, was executed at Tyburn, in 1499.

[A] BEAUMARIS, though but a small place, is the capital of the island;

it is finely situated on a low shore, called Beaumaris Bay. The present

town appears to have originated from the circumstance of a castle having

been erected here about the close of the 13th century, by Edward I. It

lies close to the town, covering a large space of ground, in a low

situation. Its erection was subsequent to its proud rivals Conway and

Caernarvon. The necessity of the present castle arose from Rhyddlan,

upon the opposite shore, being often possessed by the Welsh princes. It

appears to have been the last of the three great fortresses erected by

Edward. On the conquest of Wales in 1295, he fixed upon this spot with a

view of surrounding it with a fosse, for the double purpose of defence,

and bringing small craft to unload their cargoes under its walls, by a

canal, part of which was, till lately, remaining. From the period of its

erection to the time of Charles I., it does not appear to have been at

all conspicuous on the page of history. A communication was made between

various parts of the inner court, by means of a surrounding gallery,

about six feet wide, a considerable portion of which is yet entire.

Within recesses, in the sides of the gallery, are several square

apertures, apparently once furnished with trap doors, which opened into

rooms beneath; but their use has not been ascertained. Mr. Grose thinks

they might have been used for the purposes of imprisonment. A tennis,

fives court, and bowling-green, have been formed within the interior.

The town of Beaumaris was surrounded with walls, for its defence, and

placed under the government of a corporation, endowed with various

privileges and lands. Mr. Lloyd supposes, from local tokens being

circulated by opulent tradesmen, about the year 1650, of which he had

several in his possession, that it was a place of considerable traffic.

The present town consists of several streets, of which one terminated by

the castle is handsome, and the houses are generally well built.

Beaumaris is much frequented during the summer months, by numerous

genteel families, attracted by the pleasantness of this part of the

island, and to avail themselves of the benefit of sea-bathing. The

parochial church is a handsome structure, consisting of a chancel, nave,

and two aisles, with a large square embattled tower. In the vestry

adjoining were deposited the remains of lady Beatrice Herbert, daughter

of the celebrated mirror of chivalry, the Lord Herbert of Cherbury. Near

which lies interred the Rev. Gronwy Davies, with an inscription

concluding as follows:

"Here lies learning, friendship, love;

And innocency of the dove.

Within this grave and in the dust

His ever courteous body must

Until the resurrection lie;

Then he shall live and death shall die."

The free-school was erected and liberally endowed by David Hughes, Esq.,

in the year 1603, who ten years afterwards founded also an excellent

alms-house for six poor persons, to whom he granted small annuities. He

was born about the middle of the 16th century, in a cottage now in

ruins. He left the island early in life, in a very humble station, but

by prudence and propriety of conduct, he made a decent fortune.

"'T is here the active worth of Hughes appears,

A blessed asylum for the wreck of years!

If there his views the opening mind engage,

Here he supports the trembling limbs of age;

His breast embrac'd within his godlike plan,

At once the morn and evening hours of man!

And ye who here his lasting bounty share,

Whose tranquil days decline without a care!

If still, as night shall close, day greet your eyes,

No grateful aspirations reach the skies,

Indignant heaven beholds you with a frown,

Nor gives the ingrate, life's immortal crown." LLOYD.

The old town-hall, built in 1563, has been taken down, and under the

patronage of Lord Viscount Bulkeley, another more elegant has been

erected upon its site. The town, re-incorporated in the 4th year of

Elizabeth, is governed by a mayor, recorder, two bailiffs, twenty-four

burgessess, two serjeants at mace, a town clerk, jailor, four

constables, and a water-bailiff. The county hall is a small low

building, being neither conveniently formed nor respectable in its

appearance. The custom-house stands upon the green near the edge of the

water. Beaumaris bay consists of an expansive opening in front of the

town, so sheltered by the island of Priesholme and the great Ormeshead,

as to allow vessels of considerable burden to ride in safety, during the

most stormy weather. The depth of water near the town, at ebb-tide, is

from six to seven fathoms, but the channel scarcely exceeds a quarter of

a mile in breadth. The greater part of the bay is left dry for several

miles when the tide is out, which part is called the Lavan Sands. These

once formed a habitable hundred, belonging to the territory of Arson.

They were formerly called Wylofaen, or the place of Weeping, from the

shrieks and lamentations of the inhabitants at the time when the land

was overwhelmed by the sea. Lavan is a corruption of Traeth Talaven, or

the fermented heap, allusive to the boiling up of water in the

quicksands. The ferry was granted by charter to the corporation in the

4th year of Elizabeth: it lies near the town. The place of embarking or

landing is the point anciently known under the appellation of Penrhyn

Safness, but afterwards Osmund's Air, from a malefactor, who on his way

to execution, being asked where he was going, answered, "To take the

air." The walk over the sand at low water is firm and good; they should

be passed three hours after high water, and will be safe for four hours;

or in other words, two hours before low water and two after. Precautions

are essentially necessary to be taken, for near the times of the sands

being covered by the sea they are frequently shifting, and in many

places become so watery or quick, as to have proved both dangerous and

fatal. This way is equally perilous in foggy weather, but as some

persons are necessitated to pass in every season, the large bell at Aber

is humanely rung, to direct them towards the sound.
