calls his lady 'dau. of ---- Pegg,' not being aware of her
importance as the mother of the Earl of Plymouth. This may be

The Rev. T. Leman.

Sir,--Your correspondent A.T. will find the information he requires
respecting the Reverend Thomas Leman, of Bath, in the _Gentleman's
Magazine_ for Oct. 1826, p. 373.; for Aug. 1828, p. 183.; and for Feb.
1829. He may also consult Britton's _Memoirs of the Life, Writings, and
