The following articles appear to have been contributed by Mr. Pegge
to that useful and interesting reservoir of British Topographical
History, the _Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica; viz._ No. XVII.
A Memoir on the Story of Guy Earl of Warwick [1783].--No. XXI. The
History and Antiquities of Eccleshal-Manor and Castle, in the County
of Stafford; and of Lichfield House in London [1784]. [This Memoir
is inscribed to four successive Bishops of Lichfield: the Right Rev.
Dr. John Egerton (then Bishop of Durham); Hon. and Right Rev. Dr.
Brownlow North, then (and still) Bishop of Winchester; Right Rev.
Dr. Hurd, then Bishop of Worcester; and the Hon. and Right Rev. Dr.
Cornwallis, the present Bishop of Lichfield, who has done Dr. Pegge
the honour to deposit a copy of it among the Archives belonging to
that See.--No. XXIV. The Roman Roads (Ikenild-Street and Bath-Way)
discovered and investigated through the Country of the Coritani,
or the County of Derby; with the Addition of a Dissertation on the
Coritani. [1784.]--No. XXV. An Historical Account of that venerable
Monument of Antiquity, the Textus Roffensis; including Memoirs
of Mr. William Elstob, and his Sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Elstob.
[1784.]--No. XXVIII. Some Account of that Species of Prelates
formerly existing in England, usually called "Bishops _in Partibus
Infidelium_." [1784.] [The article before us is combined with some
others to consolidate what has been written on the subject. It
begins with a Letter from the Rev. Thomas Brett, LL. D. on Suffragan
Bishops in England, extracted from Drake's Antiquities of York (p.
539), which is followed by a Memoir on the same Topick from the Rev.
Mr. Lewis, of Margate. To these is subjoined Dr. Pegge's Account
of "Bishops _in Partibus Infidelium_." [N. B. This Number closes
with "A List of the Suffragan Bishops in England, drawn up by the
late Rev. Henry Wharton, M.A. and extracted from his MSS. in the
Lambeth Library."]--No. XXXII. Sketch of the History of Bolsover
and Peak Castles, in the County of Derby (in a Letter to his Grace
the Duke of Portland), illustrated with various Drawings by Hayman
Rooke, Esq. [1785].--No. XLI. A Sylloge of the authentic remaining
Inscriptions relative to the Erection of our English Churches,
embellished with Copperplates. Inscribed to Richard Gough, esq.
[1787.]
