Propagation and Culture .—These plants are difficult to 
propagate. The best way to obtain them, is to take up 
their roots, and transplant them into the garden, with a 
good ball of earth, putting them into a soil as near to that 
in which they naturally grow as possible, and to leave the 
ground undisturbed; for if their roots be injured, the plants 
seldom thrive afterwards. For the management of these 
plants, see Orchis.

SAVAGE (Richard), a miscellaneous writer, was the 
issue of an adulterous connection between Anne, countess 
of Macclesfield, and Richard Savage, the earl of Rivers. 
He was born in the month of January, 1697, and his 
mother being soon after separated from her husband by 
act of parliament, lord Rivers took upon himself the 
care of him as his illegitimate child. But his mother, 
whose unnatural conduct has transmitted her name to 
posterity with infamy, seems, from the moment of his 
birth, to have regarded him as an object of abhorrence, and 
to her more than brutal conduct is to be attributed that 
series of misfortunes which attended her son almost from the 
cradle to the grave. She immediately consigned him to the 
care of a poor woman, whom she directed to educateasher
