THE favourable Reception which the former Edi- tions of this PEERAGE have met with from the indulgent Public, demands the moil grateful Acknowledgements; and encourages the Proprietors to Jay before them a Third Edition, wherein confiderable Additions and Improvements have been made, not only in the principal, but alfo in the collateral Branches, which are now more extended, and the Dates every- where afcertained with the greateft Exactnefs. To ob- tain this, in no one Inftance whatever, has Application, either perfonal or by Letter, been neglected. To ren- der the whole more intelligent, Tables are infer ted at the End of the Scotch Peeraqe, of all the Family Names of the Peers of the Three Kingdoms, with their principal Titles ; and another, fhewing the Title borne by the eldeft Son of every Peer above the Rank of a Vifcount. Indeed the Fluclation which, in the Courfe of a few Years has occurred in the State of the Peerage, and the confequent Call for a New Edition, have induced the Proprietors to fpare neither Trouble nor Expence in preparing one. The whole has been revifed with Care, the fuperfluous Matter expunged, Redundancies retrenched ; and fuch Improvements, Corrections, and Additions made throughout, as to encreafe, it is hoped, the Reputation of the Work. Recourfe has been had to Public Records, and Parim Regiiters ; and every pofTible Application made to procure authentic Pedi- grees r vi 3 grees of Families, even under the immediate Dire&ion of their noble Reprefentatives ; to whofe great Con- defcenfion, Generofity, and Goodnefs, the Proprietors are under the greateft Obligation. From the Afliftance of fo confiderable a Variety of Materials with which they have from Time to Time been favoured, it is prefumed thefe Volumes contain a more accurate and ufeful Account of the prefent Peerage of the Three Kingdoms, than any now ex- tant. Such, however, is the Nature of all Works of this Kind, that Omiflions and Inaccuracies will un- avoidably happen, which the ftricteft Attention can- not prevent. In fome few Inftances, fufficient Infor- mation has not been procured, notwithftanding re- peated Applications have been made to every Quarter where there was a Probability of procuring them ; but it is hoped, that a general Accuracy will atone for an accidental Deficiency.

James IV. of Scotland, he landed a veteran troop of 5000 men, and joined his father, the Earl of Surry, then general of the Errglifh army ; and lent a mefTage to that king to juftify Sir Andrew Barton's death. At the battle of Flodden -Field, with his younger brother Sir Edmund, he commanded the van- guard, where he behaved himfelf with exceeding gallantry; and feeing his faid brother in diitrefs, came with Sir Edward Stanley to his fuccour. In conlideration of which great fervices, he in the faid 5th Henry VIII. was created Earl of Surry,- andupon adifputein parliament concerning hisplace there, it was declared, that he fliould fit according to his creation, and not as a duke's eldefl: fon. In the 12th Henry VIII. he was conilituted Lord Deputy of Ireland, where he fupprefled the irruption of the O'Neals and O'Carols; after* wards he performed many fignal fervices in France, and was conftitutedLord High Trealiuer of England, and made gene- ral of the King's whole army, defigned to march againil the Scots ; and all in his father's lifetime. Upon his father's death, 1524, he was again made general of the army raife4 to advance into Scotland, in order to fet t?he young king free, whom the Duke of Albany kept at Stirling ; and afterwards attended K. Henry into France. He was likewife fent am- baffador to the King of France, to attend him to Nice, and cpmmune with the Pope on his delay, touchingKing Henry's divorce to DUKE op NORFOLK, divorce from Queen Catherine, and in the 5th Henry VIIL he was appointed Earl Marfhal of England and Viceroy of Ireland, In the 1 8th Henry VIII. he marched to the afiiftance of the Earl of Shrewlbury, towards fupprefling that memora- ble irifurreclion in Yorkfhire, called the Pilgrimage of Grace: but after all thefe great fervices and honorable charges, by the infinuating perfualions of fome of the nobility, who bore him no good-will, the King was fo far mifled and in- cenfed againft him, that he not only commanded him prifoner to the tower, but gave orders for feizing his goods, and gave notice to his ambalTadors abroad, that he. and his fon had confpired to take upon them the government during his life, and after his death, to get the prince into their hands ; for which, being both attainted in parliament, his fon loll his head, and the Duke had fared but little better, had not the death of the King prevented it. And fo implacable was the malice of his enemies, that though a pardon was given by proclamation, at the beginning of the reign of Edward VI. to all perfons for what crimes ioever ; yet was lie, with live others, particularly excepted, and continued prifoner till dif- charged by Mary, in 1553. He married firft Anne, daughter to K. Edward IV. by whom he had a fon Thomas, who died young. By his fecond wife, Elizabeth, daughter to Edward Stafford Duke of Buckingham, he had two fons, Henry and Thomas ; of which, Henry was Earl of Surry, and was beheaded as abovementioned ; but Thomas the 2d fon was reftored in blood, the ift Queen Mary, and in the ift Elizabeth advanced to the title of Vifc, Howard of Bindon, in the County of Dorfet.

DUNNING, LORD ASHBURTON.^ THE Right Honourable RICHARD-BARRE DUN- NING, Lord ASHJBURTON, was born Sept. 20, 1782, and fucceeded his father John, the late Lord, Aug. 18, The D minings or Donnings are of Saxon origin, the word, in the Teutonick or Saxon, fignifying an Eminence or Lofty Mountain. We meet with the family in Domes-day Book, and we find them fcattered in various parts of the kingdom, defcended from one common Saxon anceftor. For many cen- turies back Richard has been a favourite Chriftian name with them, and we rind Richard Donning de Aubray or Atterbury built a cattle near Newbury, and called it from his own name Donnington-Caftle. In the twelfth century we find the family feated in feveral of the northern parifties in the county of Devon, and from thence, in the fifteenth century, they fixed themfelves at Gnatham in the parifli of Wackhampton in the fame county. John Dunning, grandfather of the late Lord, reiided at ■ Gnatham, whofe fecond fon John Dunning, an eminent Attorney at Law, refided at Afliburton in Devonihire, and died Dec. 1, 1780, aged 80, having married Agnes, daughter of Henry Jutlham, of Old Port near Modbury, in the fame county, by whom he had iffue ; John, who died an Infant. — Mary, now living, born Sept. 1733. — John, the late Lord Afliburton, who was born Oct. 18, 173 1, and be- ing bred to the law, rendered himfelf eminently confpicuous both for his extenfive knowledge, eloquence, and inflexible integrity. His Lordfliip early in life difcovered unrivalled abilities, which emerged him from obfcurity, fo that in Dec, LORD GRANTLEY. 465 ^67, he was appointed Solicitor General, which he refigned in March 1770, through party honour, and re-aflumed his attendance at the bar, with uncommon fuccefs, till his Ma- jefty in April 1782, was pleafed to appoint him one of his Ca- binet Council, Chancellor of the Duchy Court of Lancafter ; and immediately after created him Baron Afhburton, of Afh- burton in the county of Devon ; but his health being greatly impaired by his intenfe application to bufmefs, and his endea- vours to ferve his country, fufFered him not long to enjoy thefe honours ; of whom a moft. elevated orator gave the following jurl character : " I am not afraid of offending £ moll learned body, and moft jealous of its reputation for that learning, when I fay he was the firft of his profeffibn. It is a point fettled, by thofe who fettle every thing elfe ; and I mull add, (what I am enabled to fay from my own long and clofe obfervation) that there was not a man of any profeflion, or in any fituation, of a more erect and independent fpirit ; of a more proud honour ; a more manly mind 5 a more firm and determined integrity." His Lordlhip married March 31, 1770, Elizabeth, daughter of John Baring, Efq. of Lark- bear, born 1744, and fitter to John Baring, Efq. of Mount Radford, near Exeter ; for which city he is reprefentative in Parliament ; by which lady he had iflue John, born Od, 29, 1781, who died April 4, 1782; and Richard Barre, the m*efent Lord Afhburton, his fucceffor.
