Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters of Richard Ford, 1797-1858 His father, Sir Richard Ford (born 1759, died a friend of William Pitt, mp. For East Grinstead and for Appleby(17oo), at one time under-secretary of State for the Home De partment, became Chief Police Magistrate at Bow Street, and the creator of the mounted police force of London. His mother (born 1767, died 1849) was the daughter of Benjamin Booth, whose wife, Jane Salwey, was the only child and heiress of Richard Salwey of the Moor, near Ludlow, in Shropshire. To Lady Ford descended the whole of the Salwey property. Herself an excellent artist, she inherited from her father, not only his love of art, but a fine collection of paintings, including examples of the Dutch and Italian Schools, and of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and a number of the best works of Richard Wilson, the landscape painter.
