names & addresses on flyleaf of Godwin's diary vol xv: Hossick, Vanderlyn painter, Jas. Achard 16 Bloomsbury-sq / 24.4.1809 Hossick calls

For the other names on the flyleaf see Graves, William; Davis/Davies after 1805; and Randolph, David Meade. I can find nothing to suggest who Hossick was except presumably a friend of Burr's. John Vanderlyn 1775-1852 wikipedia was a friend of Burr's and was in Paris in 1809. James Achard was listed in directories at 8 Gt Ormond-st in 1802 and 1805, and in Land Tax lists 1806 to 1809 at Bloomsbury-sq, in a fairly substantial house rental £100.…

Housselaer 26.4.1795 at King's, 21.9.1795 there, 19.10.1795 adv at theatre, 9.11.1795 at King's, 3.12.1795 there

This was quite likely Godwin's mis-spelling of Haussoullier (sometimes spelt Haussoulier). See work notes below for similar names from the Low Countries, perhaps this was a French variant. At any rate Haussoulier was a very interesting character and a likely guest at John King's table. Notes & Queries Jan to June 1863 p 91 gave no sources but the facts check out well with records, saying he was a French Jew and fortune-hunter who married the wrong lady by mistake. The…

All the above entries (except the rev Hudson 1804) are coded on the GD website to John Corrie Hudson, although the editorial notes on his person record say that they shouldn't be. The second entry should obviously be coded to the person record of Hudson Gurney. The three 1808 entries may have referred to Joseph Hudson copperplate printer of 13 China Row Lambeth (Holdens 1805) or possibly…

12th paragraph 6th sentence "His wife, Ruth Ball, eldest daughter of Sir Charles Gould Morgan, and widow of Captain Ball, naval officer, later married Samuel Humfrey of Pennydarren Place Glamorgan." This is a confusion of persons.
