1822.] Lord Bulkeley.—Sir Christopher Pegge.— Countess Grey. 
mous telescope, which for many years at- 
tracted the attention of travellers in the 
garden at Slough, and which procured for 
its constructor more celebrity among the 
vulgar than all his scientific discoveries, 
proved, however, but a mere sign-post of 
his art; for it was found that the great re- 
flector was too heavy to retain a true 
figure, and few or no ob-ervations could in 
consequence be made with it, and those 
but for a short period. He, however, 
constructed other telescopes on a similar 
plan of fifteen and twenty foot length for 
various sovereigns and observatories, with 
considerable pecuniary advantage to him- 
self; and he carried the principle of sizein 
telescopes to the utmost extent which their 
materials admit. In all his labours, Dr. 
Herschel has been assisted by his sister. 
He was a man of a very social character, 
much politeness, and of a strong constitu- 
tion. Jointly with his sister, he has pub- 
lished, in a distinct form, ‘ Catalogue of 
Stars, taken from Flamsted’s Observations, 
and not inserted in the British Catalogue, 
by William Herschel ; to which is added a 
collection of Errata, that should be no- 
ticed in the same volume, by Caroline 
Herschel,” 1798. Sir William Herschel 
was a fortunate man in length of days, 
which enabled him to mature his reputation 
and his discoveries ; in royal patronage, 
which succoured his projects, and rescued 
him from the distress which too often at- 
tends the exertions of original genius ; in 
great amenity of temper, in modesty, 
which is always the result of solid attain- 
ments, andin that habitual industry which 
is characteristic of his nation : he was fortu- 
nate also in the co-operation of a sister, 
and in the harmony of his family in for- 
warding his pursuits ; for he has left a son, 
now a distinguished member of the Uni- 
versity of Cambridge, and justly regarded 
as one of the first mathematicians of his 
age, to whom we are indebted for several 
valuable productions; and, in concert 
with Mr. Peacock, for an improved trans- 
lation of Lacroix’s Elements of the Differ- 
ential Calculus, 
At Englefield Green, Berks, 69, the 
Right Hon. Thomas James Warren Bulkeley, 
seventh Viscount Bulkeley of Cashell, in 
the county of Tipperary ; Lord Bulkeley, 
Baron of. Beaumaris, in the peerage of 
Great Britain (so created in 1784); lord 
liewtenant of the county of Caernarvo>, 
chamberlain and chancellor of North 
Wales, and hereditary high constable of 
Beaumaris-castle; p.c.1. He was born 
in 1752, and immediately became 7th vis- 
count Bulkeley. He married Elizabeth- 
Harriet, only daughter and sole heir of Sir 
Geo. Warren, &.8.; in support of whose 
descent from the Earls of Warren and 
Surrey, Watson’s History was composed. 
The viscount assumed, by royal sign ma- 
nual, the name and arms of Warren, in ad- 
dition to those of Bulkeley. Leaving no 
277 
issue, the English and Irish titles are both 
extinct. His lordship’s death was quite 
unexpected. Previous ;to his sudden 
attack, he had complained in the morning 
of a sore throat, but nothing serious was 
apprehended, as he had intended coming 
to town on that day. 
Lately, at Oxford, Sir Christopher Pegge, 
M.D. an eminent physician, grandson 
of Dr, Pegge, the antiquarian, and son of 
Samuel] Pegge, esq. the author of ** Cura- 
lia,” and “ Anecdotes of the English Lan- 
guage.” He entered a commoner at 
Christ-church, Oxford, in 1782, where he 
took the degree of A.B. was elected fellow 
of Oriel in 1788, took the degrees of M.A. 
and m.B. in the following year; returned 
to Christ-church in 1790, and was ap- 
pointed Dr. Lee’s lecturer of anatomy, in 
which capacity he delivered two courses 
of lectures every year. In1790 he was 
also elected one of the physicians of the 
Radcliffe Infirmary, a situation which he 
retained more than twenty years. He 
commenced the practice of medicine at 
Oxford, in 1789, took his doctor’s degree 
in 1792, and, for seventeen years, enjoyed 
there a large share of professional reputa- 
tion. In 1816, however, repeated attacks 
of an asthmatic affection obliged him to 
remove to London. He succeeded Dr. 
Vivian, as regius professor of medicine, in 
1801. Sir C, Pegge was not only a skilful 
physician, but also a man of a classical 
taste. ’ 
Lately, in Hertford-street, May-fair, 78, 
Elizabeth Dowager Countess Grey. Her 
ladyship was the only daughter of George 
Grey, esq. of Southwick, in the county of 
Durham, descended from George Grey, of 
Southwick, esq. who, in 1647, married 
Frances, danghter of Thomas Robinson, 
esq. of Rokeby, sister to Sir Leonard 
Robinson, ancestor to the present Lord 
Rokeby. From this match also descended 
Dr. Zachary Grey, the editor of Hudi- 
bras, who died 1766. They were of a 
different family from the Greys of Howick 
(her husband's family); and bore the bars 
for theirarms (like the Earl of Stamford), 
and not thelion, The late countess hada 
brother, lieutenant-colonel of the 59th 
foot, who died at Gibraltar, and left only 
two daughters. Herladyship was married 
in 1762 to the late distinguished General 
Sir Charles Grey, K.B. who was created 
Baron Grey de Howick in 1801, and Earl 
Grey in 1806. Her ladyship was mother 
of the present Earl Grey, of six other sons, 
and two daughters. Few persons have 
left the world so deeply and so generally 
lamented. y 
Lately, the Rev. William Berille, of 
King-street, Portman-square, M.A. rector 
of Exford, Somerset, domestic chaplain to 
his grace the Duke of Manchester, and for- 
merly fellow of St. Peter’s College, Cam- 
bridge. Few persons will be more la- 
mented than this truly amiable and excel- 
dgnt
