Chance, Robert Lucas

HCR diary 10.6.1824 (at James Gillman's in Highgate where Coleridge lived) "There was also a Mr Chance who broke out at last by an opposition to Mr Ir: which made the good man so angry that he exclaimed 'Sir I reject the whole bundle of your opinions'"

Charpentier

Charpentier calls 4.7.1802
