28.6.1807 Drew at Philips'

A Drew also appears later in Godwin's diary from 1826 to 1833 but I haven't researched him and he was unlikely to have been the same person. Among authors (since Phillips was a publisher) perhaps the most likely was Richard Drew whose Description of a balance level was published in Nicholson's Journal xx 344 (1808). I found no more about him unless he was Richard Drew attorney of 3 Cliffords Inn (Holdens 1802). Other less likely authors were Samuel Drew (DNB 1765-1833) a metaphysical Methodist, and the Rev Edward Drew a patriotic Anglican. In Holdens 1811…

tea, Duke Street 3.7.1798

Godwin sometimes identified a venue by address rather than name. It seems likely this was one of his contacts named in the diary but I haven't at present guessed whom. It may emerge later or please add comment. Or try searching my website on "Duke St"

Mrs Dunbar and F Dunbar were probably the same person, Godwin often used initials for female acquaintances, and as they became more frequently mentioned in the diary he would sometimes begin to use just a plain surname, though actresses and authoresses tended to get the plain surname earlier or even at first…

6.7.1810 write to Dunn

Godwin was writing to many booksellers throughout England in 1810, so Dunn may have been a bookseller. There was Jonathan Dunn of Nottingham publisher of the Mercury newspaper, trading 1793 to 1834; Brownrigg Nicholson Dunn of Whitehaven trading 1797 to 1812; and Charles Dunn jr of Birmingham trading 1807 to 1835. These three from bbti.bodleian.ox.ac.uk

Jean Pierre Duport 1741-1818 French cellist (Grove) Rather than the cellist this is likely to have been the politician Adrien Jean Francois Duport 1759-1798 an associate of Lameth (see Lameth, Charles) who escaped to England about September 1792 (Dictionnaire de Biographie Francaise). He is also mentioned in Brightwell: Amelia Opie p56
