6.3.1796 meet Mre. (not coded to his person record in GD website). In Godwin's 1796 list for 1788 and in 1794 version but 1796 list entry not coded to his person record in GD website
Probably Dr John Moore. Godwin seems consistent in using Moore or dr Moore for the father and using initials for his sons and for the two unrelated Moores (M & H) he saw in the 1790s
3.2.1807 dine at Johnson's w. maj. Moore /26.5.1807 again / 2.12.1807 call on Johnson adv. maj. Moore / 12.8.1808 dine at Johnson's adv. maj. Moore / 27.10.1809 dine at Johnson;s w. Major Moore /13.4.1810 dine at St Pauls w. maj. Moore
Fuseli and Bonnycastle were present at each of the dinners above but that is not surprising as they were regulars at Johnson's. One of the mathematical assistants to Bonnycastle at the Royal Military Academy Woolwich was John Moore esq but no sign he ever had a rank in the army. James Moore (DNB 1762-1860) was a friend of Fuseli's and Godwin's and…
mrs Moore 24.5.1795 calls / 4.1.1808 call on
If this was the wife of Dr John Moore then it was Jean, nee Simson, married 17.6.1754, died 1820. Possibly also the wife or mother of Matthew Moore who was visiting Godwin around 1795, if he was the M Moore of the diary
2.5.1816 call on Moore (not seen)
This should be added on GD website to the person record for Thomas Moore DNB 1779-1852 poet. He was then living at Mayfield Cottage, Ashbourne and Godwin on his return journey from Edinburgh via Manchester went to Ashbourne presumably mainly to see Moore
Morgan 1.1.1795 at Sutton's.
Quite likely Isaac Morgan who was a co-defendant in a Chancery suit with Daniel Sutton in 1823 (Nat Arch C13/283/4) and shared a lease with him 24.6.1821 (Ldn Met Arch ACC1373/001), Sutton's address as Earls Terrace Kensington, Morgan's as builder of Moffatt St, City Rd, though these connections were 25 years later
dine at Hurley Bottom; sleep at Morgan's 29.11.1799
Morgan's is not underlined in GD website but clicking on it takes you to an empty page. The will of James Morgan, victualler of Hurley, PCC 1800, who died July 1799 mentioned his wife Ann and his son William. His son James took administration of the will in 1819. James Morgan of Hurley, Berks Land Tax 1798

24.12.1810 write to Fairly on Morison
Fairly called the day before, on this day, and on the next day to say goodbye. His base was in Edinburgh. So this write to is a bit mysterious. The Morison may have been the recently deceased James Morison DNB 1762-1809, who was a bookseller and a Glasite, like Godwin's friend David Booth DNB 1766-1846 and his father-in-law William Thomas Baxter
call on Morland (& R Hunter) 13.9.1799 / 3.4.1806 Wedd's (Morland)
The first entry above was probably not the artist George Morland DNB 1763-1804 (according to the DNB he was in the Isle of Wight from April to November 1799) but the second must have referred to him (or his pictures) after his death as Wedd was the name of Morland's solicitor

Morphew 6.7.1794 on mail.
Likely to have been John Morphew attorney of Norwich from 1784. In 1801 as bailiff of the Bishop of Norwich's manor of Horning he forbade a fair, in 1803 he was deputy register of the Archdeacon of Norwich's court, and also a Captain along with William Firth in the 2nd regt of Norwich Volunteer Infantry, and he may have been the John Morphew who was buried 21.9.1814 at St George Tombland, Norwich

5.1.1810 call on Morton (S R)
The GD website has coded this to Thomas Morton DNB 1764-1838 playwright, pointing out that S R could stand for his play the School of Reform. But as Godwin had already noted Morton the playwright several times in preceding years, it's more likely that the S R was to distinguish this Morton from the playwright and that this was John Morton 1773-1815 many years proprietot and printer of the Sunday Review. He later went bankrupt and died of brain fever - or a broken heart - leaving a widow and six children, and a public subscription was raised for them by…

Godwin wrote to several booksellers outside London on four of the dates above. On 18.11.1809 he called on Mozley and then 12 booksellers in London. Perhaps the provincial bookseller was visiting London, or perhaps Godwin called first on Jacob Mozley, slopseller 34 Upper East Smithfield (near to Skinner-st) or on Morris Lewin Mozley, merchant &…
