Probably John Galt DNB 1779-1839. According to the DNB he arrived in London in June 1804 with "a pile of letters of introduction" which would account for his visit to Godwin in 1805. Thomas Carlyle DNB 1795-1881 met Galt, Hogg, & A Cunningham at a literary party in London in January 1832 (Letters of Thomas & Jane Walsh Carlyle)

23.6.1789 Garbet's at T Hollis' and Garbet jr 24.8.1790 there.

Timothy Hollis's will (date 13.8.1774) mentions Elizabeth wife of Francis Garbett of Knill, Herefordshire, son of 'my old friend Samuel Garbett of Birmingham' and his last codicil (date 15.2.1790) mentions Francis Garbett's children John aged 20 of Edinburgh, Ann 17, Mary 16 and Sophia 15 at Hereford. Samuel Garbett was the ironmaster (DNB 1717-1803)

Stephen Garibaldi ratebooks 9 Poland St 1787-9 / Highfill,Burnim & Langhans. He played bass viol and died 1790 at Calais . There were two "Covent Garden ladies" at this address in 1790 according to Harris's List so it's not clear whether he would have been their landlord

Garlick 24.3.1801 at Joseph Johnson's

1.4.1796 Amelia Alderson & Garnham call on Godwin

In Amelia Opie (nee Alderson)'s DNB entry a letter from her to Robert Garnham in Henry Crabb Robinson's papers dated 1800 is quoted. He was the son of the master of Bury St Edmund's school, went to Trinity College Cambridge and died 1802 aged 50, will PCC 1802. 5 of his works are in Eighteenth Century Online

Garrard 9.1.1801 at Northcote's

Quite likely George Garrard DNB 1760-1826 animal painter (his will PCC 1827 Queen's Bldgs Brompton)

Garret 12.8.1800 on boat from Dublin / 8.7.1831 Almeyda Garret at (Joshua) Robinson's / 1.8.1831 Almeyda Garrets at Mary Shelley's

William Garrow DNB 1760-1840
 

5.1.1789 Garthshore at B Hollis'. 9.5.1790 and 23.5.1790 at Paradise's

Maxwell Garthshore DNB 1732-1812. He is also mentioned in Godwin's letters (Abinger c.7 f54). Less likely that any of these refer to his son William, who had probably set out on a tour of Europe by then

Garver 3.3.1802 at Joseph Johnson's

A rare name and when it turns up it is often a mistranscription, e.g. of Guiver. The only instances I have found were John Garver, constable of Hackney in 1818, and Nicholas Garver grocer of Boston Massachusetts 1823. Possibly a German visitor called Garve

call on (Gascoyne) 4.3.1803 / 5.3.1803 call on Gascoyne / 23.2.1810 dine at Johnson, w. 2 Gascoynes

The first call was for some reason in brackets (after a call on Perry) and was marked n for "not in" or similar. The next day Godwin made the call successfully. Possibly Thomas Gascoigne 1745-1810. He had been a Whig MP and was a member of the Society of Antiquaries from 1788. He may have been the Col. Gascoyne with a town address at 13 Tavistock Sq (Boyle's 1800) but that may have been Joseph Gascoyne of Tavistock Sq will PCC 1830. It's also possible he was no longer well by 1803 or…
