George Peacock (1791-1858), Lecturer in Mathematics, Lowndean Professor of Astronomy (1836-38). The year after taking a Fellowship, Peacock was appointed a tutor and lecturer at Trinity, Cambridge, which position he continued to hold for many years. Peacock, in common with many other students of his own standing, was profoundly impressed with the need of reforming Cambridge's position ignoring the differential notation for calculus, and while still an undergraduate formed a league with Babbage and Herschel to adopt measures to bring it about. In 1815 they formed what they called the Analytical Society.

Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Frere, 8 February 1856. Favours Dr Wesley in the vote "had he come forward as incomparably the first of our cathedral composers; but I see no great opposition to Sterndale Bennett."
