Excerpt from Some Account of Suffragan Bishops in England The following Essay towards an Account of Sufiragan Bishops in England, drawn up by the late ingenious and reverend Mr. Lewis of Margate in 1738, was presented to the Editor by Dr. Ducarel in August last, together with Mr. Wharton's List of the Suffragan Bishops, extracted by that Gentleman from wharton's mss. At Lam beth, which were supposed to have been lost, till they were by him dis covered in the year 1767. In the month of September, after Mr. Lewis's Essay had been some time in the press, Doctor ducarel received a Letter on the 'same sub jcet from the reverend Mr. Pegge, which, by that learned Antiquary's permission, is here added, to complete this curious subject, of which very little notice hath hitherto been taken by any of our His torians.
