Maybe also 6.6.1796 hustings, presently coded to John Knowles, if she had here "earned" the plain surname Godwin used for independent women like Wollstonecraft and Mansel. Her interest in the trial suggests a possible interest in the election

Dr Knox 9.11.1791 at Bosse's / Knox 13.1.1802 at Wycombe's / 6.9.1821 Knox dies / 27.6.1828 call on Dr Knox
The 1791 and 1821 entries above have been coded on the GD website to Vicesimus Knox DNB 1752-1821, correctly in my view. The 1802 entry (which is uncoded in GD website) may have been him also but no special reason to think so. Of the Knox entries in the Dictionary of Irish Biography the one with the most radical sympathies was George Knox 1765-1827, the others were stong government supporters. The 1802 entry could well have been him. The Dr Knox of 1828 was certainly Thomas…

M(arshall) dines; agreement for Krimee 26.3.1802
See Bodleian Abinger c7 f95 and c7 f101, letters from Thomas Holcroft in Europe to Godwin. Holcroft sent Voyage dans le Crimee to give Marshall a book worth translating, it had already been translated from Russian to German to French, and was published by Robinson in 1802 as Travels in the Crimea, by a secretary to the Russian embassy. It had to compete with two other travel books on the Crimea issued in England in 1802

Perhaps John Howard Kyan DNB 1774-1850, his father John Howard Kyan of Mount Howard, Ballymutagh, co. Wicklow who died 1804, or Esmonde Kyan DNB 1750-1798. Not everyone Godwin met accidentally got into the DNB but a remarkable number did and Kyan is not a very common name even in Ireland

HCR diary 22.3.1838 "I have some hope of obtaining throughh L'Evesque an introduction to Seguire"
Seguire was William Seguier (DNB 1772-1843), keeper of the National Gallery from 1824 (QV*). Robinson wanted to sell some of Aders' pictures to the Gallery. The most prosperous Levesque in London was Peter Levesque of 29 Guildford St, Russell Sq, who was Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, of the Royal Geographical Society, and active in the Royal Literary Fund. He was probably born 31.7.1779 of Pierre Levesque and Anne Olivier and baptised 18.8.1779 or born 6.6.1781 of Louis Daniel…

Major La Chausee, le comte de la Chaussee "Memoire militaire sur Bantry" 26.4.1797 (Kent History Centre / photopol.com/articles/bm_corr.html). La Chaussee had to show Thomas Pelham 2nd Earl of Chichester how to load a mortar 13.8.1797. Not in British Army Lists. Probably Charles de la Chaussee, Seigneur de St Aubin (Dictionnaire de la Noblesse Francaise)

call on Lahee 12.8.1805 with Dawe
Because Godwin called on Jones copperplate printer with Dawe two days before, this was probably James Lahee, copperplate printer of 30 Castle St East who appeared in Pigot's Directory 1822 though not in Brititsh Book Trades Index. He had married Esther Kirton 13.8.1804 at St George Bloomsbury

Malcolm Laing DNB 1762-1818 (or perhaps his brother Samuel DNB 1780-1868) may well have been the Laing at Mackintosh's. The three entries at Joseph Johnson's (the last after his death but at his shop at St Paul's) may have referred to William Laing DNB 1764-1832 bookseller & publisher. He lived in Edinburgh and travelled abroad, the DNB mentions his sons and the br may have stood for bookseller (see Hayes, Major…
