"I see he was created a baronet 26th July, 1660, and died s. p.
Dec. 1676; and that Courthope, in his _Extinct Baronetage_,
calls his lady 'dau. of ---- Pegg,' not being aware of her
importance as the mother of the Earl of Plymouth. This may be
worth remarking."
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
Character of Henry Hatcher_.
G.M.
A Memoir of the Rev. Thomas Leman will be found in Nichols's
_Illustrations of Literature_, vol. vi. p. 435, _et seq._, comprising an
enumeration of his writings in various county histories and other works
of that character, and followed by eighteen letters addressed to Mr.
Nicholls, J.N. Brewer, Esq., and the Rev. Dr. Samuel Parr.

Burnet Prize at Aberdeen.
Sir,--I sent a _query_ to the _Athenaeum_, who, by a _note_, referred it
to you.
My object is to ascertain _who gained_ the last _Theological Premium_
(forty years since, or nearly) at Aberdeen. You no doubt know the
subject: it is the best Treatise on "the Evidence that there is a Being
all powerful, wise, and good, by whom every thing exists; and
particularly to obviate difficulties regarding the wisdom and goodness
of the Deity; and this, in the first place from considerations
independent of Written Revelation, and, in the second place, from the
revelation of the Lord Jesus; and, from the whole, to point out the
inferences most necessary for and useful to mankind.
