We acknowledge our obligations to a Corre/pon- 
dent at Chefterfield, for the following authentic 
particulars of the late Dr. Peccr.—The Rev. 
Dr. Samuel Pegge, ¥. S. A. was born at Chef- 
terfield the 5th of November 1704, N.S. being 
defcended from a branch of the family which 
formerly refided at Oimufton, near Afhborne, 
in Derbyfhire, where he was pofflefled of a 
patrimonial eftate. He was educated in the 
Free School at Chefterfield, whence he re- 
moved to St. John’s College in Cambridge. 
Here he took the decree of A.M. in 1729. 
He had the honorary degree of L. L. D. con- 
ferred upon him at Oxford in 1791. His firft 
preferment was the living of Godmerfham in 
Kent, where he refided twenty years. in 
1751 he became Re¢tor of Whittington, and 
afterwards Vicar of Heath, both in Derby- 
fhire. He held a Prebend in the church of 
Lichfield, and another in the church of Lin- 
coln. Dr. Peggedied at Whittington on the 
z4th of February, 1796, after a refidence of 
forty-four years, and in the ninety-fecond 
year of hisage.— 
His writings are numerous, and chiefly to 
be found in the Archzologia, publithed by the 
Society of Antiquaries in London; his atten- 
tion having been principally dire¢ted to xe- 
fearches into antiquity. In this literary pur- 
fuit the Dofior acquired confiderable emi- 
mence ; and the various Traéts which he has 
given to the public will hand down his name 
with great reputation.— 
Dr. Pegge was poffefled of a happy equa- 
Nimity and natural chearfulnefs of temper, 
which neither his fequeftered fituation nor the 
gradual approach of age could greatly diminith. 
He could mix in fociety with the utmoft eafe, 
and enjoy both the private converfation of 
his friends and larger circles with great vi- 
vacity, almoft as long as he was able to attend 
them. Ever acceffible he received his vifitors 
with all the eafy manners of one who has 
paffed his life in a much more public fituation. 
His domeftics found him a kind mafter, and 
he was held in much refpe€t by all his pa- 
rifhoners. Sincerity of profefiion and the beft 
Intentions procured Dr. Peyee a large degree 
of efteem .from many whofe fentiments dif 
fered from his on the fubjeéls both of religion

and government. His happy chearfulnefs of 
temper he retained to the laft, which rendered 
the concluding fcene of his life very eafy to 
himfelf 5 and after enjoying a long feries of 
health, and an almoft uninterrupted flow of fpi- 
tits, and fuffering only a gradual decay of na- 
ture, he had a happy difmiffion out of life at the 
venerable age of ninety-two.
