HAUTE FEUILLE, John, an ingenious mechanic, born at Orleans in 1647. Though he was an ecclefiaftic, and enjoyed feveral benefices, he applied almoft his whole life to mechanics, in which he made a great progrefs. He had a particular tafte for clock-work, and made feveral difcoveries in it that were of fingular ufe. He found out the fecret of moderating the vibration of the balance by means of a small steel spring, which has fince been made ufe of. This discovery he laid before the members of the Academy of Sciences, in 1674; and thefe watches are called pendulum quatches, not that they have real pendulums, but because they nearly approach to the juftnefs of pendulums. M. Huygens perfected this happy invention; but having declared himself the inventor, and obtained from Lewis XIV. a patent for making watches with fpiral fprings, the abbé Feuille opposed the registering this privilege, and published a piece on the subject against M. Huygens. He wrote a great number of other pieces, moft of which are finall pamphlets confifting of a few pages, but very curious; as, 1. The perpetual pendulum; 4to. 2. New inventions; 4to. 3.

(2) HAWKERS anciently were fraudulent per fons, who went from place to place buying and felling brass, pewter, and other merchandize, which ought to be uttered in open market. In P 2 this this fenfe the word is mentioned, 25 Hen. VIII. cap. 6. and 33, cap. 4. The appellation feems to have arifen from their uncertain wandering, like those who, with hawks, feek their game where they can find it. The term is now used as fyhonymous with pedlar; a person who travels about the country felling wares. Every hawker muft take out an annual licence, for which he must pay 41. and if he travels with a horfe, afs, or mule, for every one of them 81. If he travels without a licence, or contrary to it, he forfeits for every of fence, to the informer, and the poor of the parifh where difcovered, rol.

He was a prefbyterian, and a member of the celebrated Bradbury's meeting, from which he was expelled for irregularity. He afterwards devoted himself to literature, and became an author of confiderable eminence. In the early part of his life his circumftances were rather confined. He refided fome time at Bromley in Kent, where his wife kept a boarding fchool. He afterwards became known to a lady who had great property and intereft in the Eaft India company, and through he; means was chofen a director of that body. His Adventurer is his capital work, and its merits procured him the degree of LL. D. from Abp. Herring. When the defign of compiling a narrative of the difcove ries in the South Seas was on foot, he was recommended as a proper perfon to be employed on the occafion: but the performance did not answer the public expectation. Works of tafte and elegance, where imagination and the paffions were to be affected, were his province; not works of dry, cold, accurate narrative. However, he executed his tafk, and received for it the enormous fum of 6oool. He died in 1773, fome fay of high living, others, of chagrin from the ill reception of his Narrative; for he was a man of the keeneft fenfibility.

HAWKHURST, a populous parish and village in Kent, near Benenden. (1.) HAWKING, n.. the art or exercife of taking wild fowl by means of hawks. The me thod of reclaiming, manning, and bringing up a hawk to this exercife, is called FALCONRY. (2.) HAWKING, HISTORY OF. Hawking was anciently a favourite amufement in Britain, and to carry a hawk was efteemed a diftinction of a man of rank. The Welfh had a faying, that you may know a gentleman by his hawk, horfe, and greyhound. In those days a perfon of rank feldom went without one on his hand. Even the ladies were not without them; for in an ancient fculpture in the church of Milton Abbas, in Dorfetfire, appears the confort of king Athelftan, with, a falcon on her royal fift tearing a bird. There are only two countries in the world, how. ever, where we have any evidence that the exercife of hawking was very anciently in vogue, Thefe are, Thrace and Britain. In the former, Pliny tells us, (lib. x. 8.) it was merely the diverfion of a particular diftrict. But the primeval Britons had a peculiar tafte for hawking; and every chief among them maintained a confiderable number of birds for that fport. It appears aifo from a paffage in Offian, (Vol. I. p. 115.) that it was fashionable at a very early period in Scotland. He tells us, that a peace was endeavoured to be gained by the proffer of" 100 managed fteeds, 100 foreign captives, and 100 hawks with fluttering wings, that fly across the fky." To the Romans this diverfion was fcarce known in the days of Vefpafian; yet it was introduced foon after. Probably they adopted it from the Britons; but they greatly improved it by the introduction of spaniels into the ifland. In this ftate it appears among the Roman Britons in the 6th century. Gildas, in his first epistle, fpeaking of Maglocunus, on his relinquishing am'bition, and taking refuge in a monaftery, compares him to a dove, that with various turns and windings takes her flight from the talons of the hawk. In after times hawking was the principal amufement of the English; a perfon of rank Icarce ftirred out without his hawk on his hand; which in old paintings is the criterion of nobility. rold, afterwards king of England, when he went on an embaffy into Normandy, is painted embarking with a bird on his fift, and a dog under his arm and in an ancient picture of the nuptials of Henry VI. a nobleman is represented in the fame manner; for in thofe days it was thought sufficient Ha for for noblemen to winde their horn, and to carry their bawk fair, and leave fudy and learning to the children of mean people! In fhort, this diverfion was, among the ancient English, the pride of the rich, and the privilege of the poor; no rank of men feems to have been excluded the amufement: we learn from the book of St Alban's, that every degree had its peculiar hawk, from the emperor down to the holy-water clerk. Vaft was the expenfe that fometimes attended this sport. In the reign of James I. Sir Thomas Monfon is faid to have given 1000l. for a caft of hawks: we are not then to wonder at the rigour of the laws made to preserve a fport that was carried to fuch an extravagant pitch. In the 34th of Edward III. it was made felony to fteal a hawk; to take its eggs even in a perfon's own ground, was punishable with im prifonment for a year and a day, befides a fine at the king's pleasure; in queen Elizabeth's reign, the imprisonment was reduced to 3 months; but the offender was to find fecurity for 7 years, or lie in prifon till he did. Such was the ftate of old England; during the whole day, the gentry were addicted to hawking or hunting; in the evening, they celebrated their exploits with the moft abandoned and brutish fottifhnefs; while the inferior rank of people, by the most unjuft and arbitrary laws, were liable to capital punishments, to fines, and lofs of liberty, for deftroying the most noxious of the feathered tribe. According to Olearius, the diversion of hawking is more followed by the Tartars and Perfians than ever it was in Europe. Il n'y avoit point de butte (fays he) qui n'euft fon aigle ou fon falcon. The falcons or hawks that were in ufe in thefe kingdoms, are now found to breed in Wales, and in North Britain and its illes. The peregrine falcon inhabits the rocks of Caernarvonfhire. The fame fpecies and the gyrfalcon, the gentil and the gofhawk, are found in Scotland, and the lanner in Ireland. (See FALCO, N° 25, 31, 32, 35, and 40.) The Norwegian breed was, in old times, in high efteem in England: they were thought bribes worthy a king. Geoffrey Fitzpierre gave two good Norway hawks to king John, to obtain for his friend Walter Le Madena, the liberty of exporting 100 wt. of cheese; and Nicholas the Dane was to give the king a hawk every time he came into England, that he might have free liberty to traffic throughout the king's dominions. They were alfo made the tenures by which some nobles held their eftates from the crown. Thus Sir John Stanley had a grant of the Isle of Man from Henry IV. to be held of the king, his heirs, and fucceffors, by homage and the service of two falcons, on the day of his or their coronation. And Philip de Hafting held his manor of Combertoun in Cambridgeshire, by the service of keeping the king's falcons. (3.) HAWKING, METHOD OF TRAINING BIRDS FOR. When a hawk or falcon is taken, fhe muft be feeled (See $ 4.) in fuch a manner, that, as the feeling flackens, the may fee what provifion lies before her; but care ought to be taken, not to Teel her too hard. A falcon or hawk newly taken fhould have all new furniture, as new jeffes of good leather, mailled leashes with buttons at the end, and new bewits. There should also be provided a fmall round ftick, to ftroke the hawk; be caufe, the oftener this is done, the fooner and better will fhe be manned. She muft alfo have two large bells, that the may be found when the fcattereth. Her hood fhould be well fathioned, raifed, and emboffed against her eyes, deep, and yet ftrait enough beneath, that it may faften about her head without hurting her; and her beak and talons must be a little coped, but not fo near as to make them bleed. A foar falcon, which has pafed the feas, will be harder to reclaim, but will prove the beft of falcons. Her food must be good and warm, and given twice or thrice a-day, till the be full gorged: the best for this purpose is pigeons, larks, or other live birds; because the muft be broken off by degrees from her accustomed feeding. When the is fed, you must hoop and lure, that she may know when you intend to give her meat. On this occafion the must be unhooded gently: and after giving her two or three bits, her hood must be put on again, when she is to get two or three bits more. Care must be taken that the be clofe feeled; and after 3 or 4 days her diet may be leffened; the falconer fetting her every night to perch by him, that he may awaken her often in the night.. In this manner he must proceed, till he find her grow tame and gentle; and when she begins to feed eagerly, he may give her a fheep's heart. He may now begin to unhood her in the day time, but it must be far from company, firft giving her a bit or two, then hooding her gently, and giving her as much more. When he is fharp fet, he may now unhood her, and give her fome meat juft against his face and eyes, which will make her lefs afraid of the countenances of others. She muft be borne continually on the fift, till fhe is properly manned, caufing her to feed in company, giving her in the morning, about fun-rife, the wing of a pullet; and in the evening, the foot of a hare or coney, cut off the joint, flead and laid in water, which being fqueezed, is to be given her with the pinion of a hen's wing. For two or three days give her washed meat, and then plumage in more or lefs quantity as the is thought to be more or lefs foul within. After this, being hooded again, the is to get nothing till he has gleamed and caft, when a little hot meat may be given her in company; and, towards evening, the may be allowed to plume a hen's wing in company alfo. Cleanfe the feathers of her cafting, if foul and flimy; if she be clean within, give her gentle caftings; and when she is reclaimed, manned, and made eager and sharp fet, feed her on the lure. Three things are to be confidered before the lure be fhowed her; 1. That fhe be bold and familiar in company, and not afraid of dogs and horfes. 2. Sharp fet and hungry, having regard to the hour of morning and evening, when you would lure her. 3. Clean within, and lure well garnifhed with meat on both fides; and when you intend to give her the length of a leafh, you must abfcond. She must also be unhooded, and have a bit or two given her on the lure as the fits on your fift; afterwards take the lure from her, and hide it that the may not fee it; and when the is unfeeled, caft the lure fo near her, that the may catch it within the length of her leath, and as foon as she has feized it, ufe your voice, feeding her upon the lure, on the ground, will thus learn to give over a fowl that rakes out, and on hearing the falconer's lure, will make back again, and know the better how to hold in the head. Some hawks have a difdainful coynefs, proceeding from their being high fed: fuch a hawk muft not be rewarded though the fhould kill, but may be allowed to plume a little : Then taking a fheep's heart cold, or the leg of a pul let, when the hawk is bufy in pluming, let ei ther of them be conveyed into the body of the fowl, that it may favour of it; and when the hawk has eaten the heart, brains, and tongue of the fowl, take out what is inclofed, call her to your fift, and feed her with it; afterwards give her fome of the feathers of the fowl's neck, to fcour her, and make her caft. If the be a stately high-flying hawk, the ought not to take more than one flight in a morning; and if she be made for the river, let her not fly more than twice; when the is at the higheft, take her down with your lure; and when she has plumed and bro ken the fowl a little, feed her, by which means you will keep her a high flyer, and fond of the lure. with the heart and warm thigh of a pullet. Having fo lured your falcon, give her ut little meat in the evening; and let this luring be to timely, that you may give her plumage, and a juck of a joint next morning on your fift. When the has caft and gleamed, give her a little warm meat. About noon, tie a creance to her leafh; and going into the field, there give her a bit or two upon her lure; then unwind the creance, and draw it after you a good way; and let him who has the bird hold his right hand on the taffel of her hood, ready to unhood her as foon as you begin to lure; to which if the come well, ftoop roundly upon it, and haftily feize it, let her caft two or three bits thereon. Then, unfeizing and taking her off the lure, hood her and give her to the man again; and going farther off, till the is accustomed to come freely and eagerly to the lure; after which the may be lured in company, taking care that nothing affright her. When the is ufed to the lure on foot, she is to be lured on horse back; which may be effected the fooner, by caufing horfemen to be about her when lured on foot, When the has grown familiar to this way, let fomebody on foot hold the hawk, and the perfon on horfeback muft call and caft the lure about his head, the holder taking off the hood by the taffel; and if the feize eagerly on the lure without fear of man or horfe, then take off the creance, and lure her at a greater diftance. If you would have her love dogs as well as the lure, cali dogs when you give her her living or plumage. After this, the may be allowed to fly, in a large field, unencumbered with trees. To excite her to fly, whiftir foftly; unhood her, and let her fly with her head to the wind; as the will thus, the more readily get upon the wing, and fly upwards. The hawk fometimes flies from the falconer's fift, and takes ftand on the ground: this is a fault very common with foar falcons. To remedy this, fright her up with your wand; and when you Have forced her to take a turn or two, take her down to the lure, and feed her. But if this does not do, then you must have in readiness a duck feeled, fo that they may fee no way but backwards, and that will make her mount the higher. Hold this duck in your hand, by one of the wings near the body; then lure with the voice, to make the falcon turn her head; and when fhe is at a reafonable pitch, caft your duck up just under her; when, if the ftrike, ftoop, or trufs the duck, permit her to kill it, and reward her by giving her a reasonable gorge. After you have practifed this 2 or 3 times, your hawk will leave the ftand, and, delighted to be on the wing, will be very obedi. ent. It is not convenient, for the firft or fecond time, to show your hawk a large fowl; for fuch often escape from the hawk, and the rakes after them this gives the falconer trouble, and frequently occafions the lofs of the hawk. But if the happens to pursue a fowl, and being unable to recover it, gives it over, and comes in again directly, then caft out a feeled duck; and if the ftoop and trufs it across the wings, permit her to take her pleasure, rewarding her alfo with the heart, brains, tongue, and liver. If you have not a quick duck, take her down with a dry lure, and let her plume a pullet and feed upon it. A hawk (4.) HAWKING, TERMS USED IN. Various terms are used in hawking, which it is proper to explain, though the exercife is now much lefs uted than formerly. The legs, from the thigh to the foot, are called arms; the toes, the petty fingles; the claws, the pounces; the wings are called the fails; the long feather thereof, the beams; the two longeft, the principal fea thers; thofe next thereto, the flags. The tail is called the train; the breast feathers, the mails ; thofe behind the thigh, the pendant feathers, When the feathers are not yet full grown, fhe is said to be unsummed; when they are complete, she is fummed: The craw, or crop, is called the gorge: The pipe next the fundament, where the fæces are drawn down, is called the pannel.
