200 APPENDIX. 



has ever adhered to those principles of honour and inte- 

 grity 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 pre- 

 sent Right Hon. J. G. W. Forester, whose popularity in 

 connection with the Belvok Hunt is so well known. 



His lordship, whose portrait we give at the commence- 

 ment 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, asso- 

 ciated 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 mascu- 

 line 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 norliis elder brother, 

 the present Rt. Hon. Lord Forester, are likely to leave 

 behind them dii-ect issue. The younger brother, the Hon. 

 and Rev. 0. 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.
