18.11.1809 call on Hamilton
Coded on GD website to Samuel Hamilton printer. After the fire at his works in 1803 he seems to have moved to Shoe-lane in 1805 but by 1809 he had probably moved to Weybridge, and this call is in a string of calls on booksellers, so was probably Thomas Hamilton bookseller 37 Paternoster-row or less likely Alexander Hamilton bookseller 14 & 15 Temple-pl Blackfriars-rd
7.11.1788 Archd. This must be Archibald Hamilton, either son or grandson of Archibald Hamilton (see his Person Record in GD website)
Also probably 9.9.1795 call on A H / 15.2.96 call on A Hn
17.7.1795 tea at Amelia Alderson's with John Walker & Capt Hamilton. adv Dyer. Miss Alderson was perhaps staying with the Batty's but Godwin didn't mention them. An unmarried lady having four random gentlemen to tea was perhaps a bold and unusual event.
There were 3 naval captains at the time, Sir Charles Hamilton DNB 1767-1849, Charles Powell Hamilton and Thomas Hamilton; and plenty more in the Army. Boyle's 1794 had a Col H at 15 James St Westminster and another at 35 Gt Marlborough St. A letter of 1804 from a Capt Hamilton to Sir William Windham Dalling (1175-1864) about Mrs…

Elizabeth Hamilton DNB 1756-1815 and see Correspondence of Mary Hays p312. A friend of Mary Hays who fell out with her over the review of her first major work in the Analytical Review of October 1796 supposedly written by Hays. Godwin often dropped the miss or mrs for women, particularly authors. But the plain Hamilton on 16.4.1796 might also be the S Hamilton who according to Correspondence of Mary Hays p299 was assisting Dr George Gregory as editor of the Critical…

Hammond 20.12.1797 adv at Reveley's / 5.1.1798 again / 20.4.1798 Lister's, New Inn / 5.5.1798 adv at Lister's
These entries may have all referred to one person but there is nothing to link the first two at Reveley's with the next two at (Samuel) Lister's. At the latter the company was mostly attorneys (Lister, Lawson, [Richard] Wordsworth, Jos[hua Lucock] Wilkinson) so Hammond may have been Richard Hammond attorney of Gt James St, Bedford Row (with William Whitton) Law List 1800. A Richard Hammond son of John Hammond of Great Marlow, Bucks was articled 17.12.1785 to Robert…
4.1.1808 call on Hankey
This name only appears this once in Godwin Diary. The Hankeys were a major banking family in the City of London, providing several Lord Mayors.

Hardcastle 8.1.1797 at John King's
Maybe the attorney John Hardcastle, 1787 with Michael Hodgson over the Crown Office, Kings Bench Walk, Temple, 1800 at 7 Lincolns Inn New Sq, Morning Chronicle 2.3.1801 advert for creditors of his estate. In 1797 Law List there was also an attorney James Hardcastle of 21 Dean St Soho. In Godwin diary after Dennet who was also likely an attorney

In a string of calls on booksellers and directly after Triphook bookseller in St James-st, this was probably John Harding bookseller 36 St James-st (bbti)
11.7.1793 at Inchbald's. In Godwin's 1796 list (crossed out) for 1793, and in 1794 version.
Probably George Hardinge DNB 1743-1816 judge and writer. Boyle's 1792 Geo Hardinge Esq MP 34 Bedford Sq. He may also have been the later (1808-11) Hardinge in Godwin's diary but I haven't checked that yet
Hardistys 8.2.1799 at King's

Hardkus 27.10.1798 at John King's
Careful examination of Godwin's manuscript diary suggests this may have been Hardkers. I've found no instances of the name Hardkus in any sources but the name Hardker can be found occasionally in the north of England and in USA, possibly a variant of Hardaker. But I've not found any person of that name who might have been referred to here, in the plural.
