HCR diary 10.12.1820 Mrs Basil Montagu on Mrs Aders' indiscretions "She knows too that Mrs Aders has visited at Mr Meux's when a woman of infamous character was there, she has been known to cut a stranger in the presence of Carlisle!!"

Crabb Robinson's exclamation marks were probably aimed at Mrs Montagu's thinking it such a sin. Thomas Carlyle (DNB 1795-1881) was a friend of Mrs Montagu's, he referred to her as "the noble lady"

A common name with few entries in Godwin's diary. The 1809 and 1810 entries were probably one person, but the 1802 and 1806 entries could easily have been different people (or not). At Moore's in 1802 with Moore's friend Woolriche who was a surgeon, so maybe a surgeon or maybe an Irish connection. See Hughes, Maria for connection of Curran and Waring.…

Benjamin Carpenter was (along with William Blake the poet and his wife Catherine and Dorothy Gott) one of the additional signatories to the Swedenborgian conference 1789 (not in the printed list of 7.12.1788) and like the Blakes and Gott he appeared in no other Swedenborgian records. He was  quite likely  the Unitarian minister Benjamin Carpenter, born April 1752 near Bromsgrove, son of Philip Carpenter and Ann Lant who were married at Coventry 30.12.1740 and who baptised 11 children at the Indeprndent chapel in Bromsgrove.

Thomas Carter one of the additional signatories of the 1789 Swedenborgian conference (not in the printed list of 7.12.1788) who, like the poet William Blake and his wife and Dorothy Gott, appeared in no other Swedenborgian records. Really too common a name for me to make any intelligent guess to his identity
