Anne Mason, formerly Lady Macclesfield, and the Earl of Rivers, whom Savage claimed as his father. She had a way of rechristening her friends by romantic titles. See her poem, "To Mr. Walter Bowman ... Occasion'd by his objecting against my giving the Name of Hillarius to Aaron Hill, Esq." Memoirs of a Certain Island, I, 43-7 condensed.
Their lordships' judgment is, and this high court doth adjudge, that you, Thomas, Earl of Macclesfield, be fined in the sum of thirty thousand pounds unto our sovereign lord the king; and that you shall be imprisoned in the tower of London, and there kept in safe custody, until yon shall pay the said fine." 6 Hargrave's State Trials, 762 3 4.
He prayed that the sin might not be laid to his charge; and he declared that he could not consent to lay any more snares for his own soul and for the souls of his neighbours. The Earl of Macclesfield, the captain of the English volunteers who had accompanied William from Helvoetsluys to Torbay, declared that he was much in the same case with Lord Wharton. Marlborough supported the bill.
Oliver, I have the privilege of introducing you to the Lady Ogilvie." I bent in the middle again and gabbled something. It was suitable to the occasion, I hope. Lady Ogilvie eyed me up and down carefully, much as I should overlook a bullock I had a mind to buy. "When Davie left me at Macclesfield I told him I'd be guid, and I will be guid, but I wish he hadn't asked me," she said. "Never mind!
But what distinguished him much more was, that he had attained so great a proficiency in the study of mathematics as to become a teacher of that branch of science in the English metropolis, under the patronage of Sir Isaac Newton, and rose to such reputation by his writings, that he attracted the notice and esteem of the powerful and the learned, and was admitted to the intimacy of the Earls of Hardwicke, and Macclesfield; Lord Parker, President of the Royal Society; Halley; Mead; and Samuel Johnson.
Lord Macclesfield was the son of an attorney whose parents were of lowly origin, and whose worldly means were even lower than their ancestral condition.
It exhibits two breaks on the S.W., through one of which passes a coarse valley that ultimately runs on the E. side of the depressions just referred to. The interior is pitted with many craters, one on the W. side being shallow but of considerable size. I once counted twenty with a 4 inch Cooke achromatic, and Dr. Sheldon of Macclesfield subsequently noted many more.
Amongst the many persons ruined by the bursting of the South Sea Bubble were certain Masters of Chancery, who had thrown away on that wild speculation large sums of which they were the official guardians. Lord Macclesfield was one of the victims on whom the nation wreaked its wrath at a crisis when universal folly had produced universal disaster.
The claim of Savage that he was the illegitimate son of the Countess of Macclesfield a claim which he was always asserting to the point of coarseness seems to have been the stock-in-trade of this vagabond's life. The child disappeared, and nothing more was ever known of its existence. Another earl, Richard Savage, Lord Rivers, was the co-respondent.
Great and destructive riots occurred at Macclesfield, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, and various towns in the North: the people were ignorant of the cause of their distresses, and they wreaked their vengeance upon the knitting frames, machinery in general, and destroyed the property of their employers.
