to quote from Glover's ' History of Derbyshire,' an irregular shaped block estimated to weigh about fifty tons, that could be shook by the pressure of the hand . . . was forced from its equilibrium by the mischievous efforts of fourteen young men, who were assembled for the purpose on Whit-Sunday in the year 1799.
