Godwin Diary

mrs Cotton, Cookham 29.11.1799 dine with her

Cookham presumably the place in Berkshire, and her was surely mrs Cotton. Both are underlined (i.e.unidentified) in GD website

cartons 28.11.1799 see at Windsor

Perhaps the Raphael cartoons (more properly cartons) in Her Majesty's collection at Windsor (Oracle 27.8.1799)

Myers 27.11.1799 at Charles James Fox's, St Ann's Hill

Possibly Thomas Myers DNB 1774-1834 mathematician but he doesn't seem a very probable visitor of Fox's. Another random possible Dr Joseph Hart Myers 1758-1823 (Monk's Roll)

capt Fell 23.11.1799 at Parry's, Hammersmith

mrs Rigby 23.11.1799 at Parry's Hammersmith

Anne Rigby was a witness to the will dated 24,4,1800 of John Parry, (see Parry) proved PCC 1825. Mrs Rigby Land Tax hammersmith 1799-1807.

capt Towers 20.11.1799 at Charlotte Smith's

W Sheffd 19.11.1799 at Nicholson's lecture / 29.10.1804 miss Sheffields tea / 30.8.1806 Sheffields adv at dinner / 23.7.1808 Sheffields adv at theatre

Sadlers 19.11.1799 at Nicholson's lecture / 14.1.1800 Sadler at Nicholson's / 29.7.1835 M T Sadler dies

James Sadler DNB 1753-1828 balloonist and chemist was a likely contact of William Nicholson's DNB 1753-1815. His son John 1779-1838 may have been included in the plural at the lecture. Michael Thomas Sadler DNB 1780-1835 was certainly the 1835 entry, Godwin didn't record having met him but read him in 1829.

Boisgelin 29.12.1799 at Lanesborough's / 5.1.1800 at John King's / 19.1.1800 at Lanesborough's / 21.1.1800 at John King's / 26.1.1800 again / 9.2.1800 again / 16.3.1800

Boisgelin has been identified on 17.11.1799 on the GD website but all the above subsequent entries have not been coded to him

Hompesch 17.11.1799 at John King's. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1799
