Prevot at Philips'2.4.1802 / 30.5.1805 Mde Prevot at tea / 1.7.1805 again / 11.7.1805 Me Prevost calls

Rev Francis Prevost along with Francis William Blagdon DNB 1777-1819 published Mooriana in 1803 but the publisher was Crosby not Phillips. Prevost's dedication to John Julius Angerstein DNB 1732-1823 suggests he may have been tutor to Angerstein's son John (Hist of Parl 1774-1858). The Rev Francis Prevost was buried at Fulham 28.8.1810 and Gents Mag 80/2 p388 said he was minister of the French Conformist chapel in Dean St Soho. I have found no details of his wife or family.

SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION: Job Hart Price of Kensington proposed member 5.12.1783 by Richard Brocklesby 2nded Charles Ball

The only clue I found to his origins was his subscription in 1776 to Leland's History of Ireland published in Cork, which also fits with his seconder, Rev Charles Ball of Dublin. At the time he joined SCI he had recently on 21.10.1783 married Sarah Clarke of Ulcomb, Kent at Clifton, Glos. She was the daughter of Godfrey Clarke (will PCC 1774 of Sutton, Derbyshire who apparently left his estates heavily encumbered with debts) and heiress of her…

miss Prince 28.3.1795 at Adams'.

This was probably but not certainly at Joseph Adams DNB 1755/7 - 1818 who at this point was an apothecary probably still of Basinghall St. Identifying any of his guests might identify the others, Newdicks, Hinckley, Atkins's see my entries for them

The only three times Proby appeared in Godwin's diary, (except in 1798 when Godwin read a book by William C Proby comparing Godwin's philosophy with that of Lycurgus of Sparta), and all at (or near in the first case) John Taylor's. Possibly the author William C Proby about whom I know nothing, possibly John Proby, Lord Proby 1780-1855 History of Parliament. John Taylor DNB 1757-1832. Records of My Life
