2.7.1789 Stirling at Billingsgate with Robinson &c. / Sterling at Holcroft's 13.7.1794. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1789 and in 1794 version. 

Joseph Sterling DNB fl 1765-1794. Sterling's poems were published in Dublin in 1781 by Luke White, in London in 1794 by T Payne, and in London in 1789 by Robinson, so three of his publishers were present at this dinner. He lived chiefly in Ireland but his presence in London in 1794 coincided with the publication of his Odes there. George Cecil of Dublin was his uncle, published his first work and left him a legacy.

Steven 1.1.1803 at Philips

Possibly James Stephen DNB 1758-1832 but as a Clapham Sect slavery abolitionist would perhaps not have been at Richard Phillips more radical gathering. His War in Disguise was published in 1805 and sold by Hatchard and by Butterworth, more establishment booksellers. The name Steven so spelt was not entirely uncommon in London, though much commoner in Scotland, in PCC wills there were John Steven Lt RN 1803 (proved 22.3), William Steven tailor of Charing Cross 1808 (voted Fox & Tooke 1796, Fox & Gardner 1802, Hood 1806), Margaret Steven widow of…
