Pitcairn 24.8.1798 at H(olcrof)ts

Likely to have been David Pitcairn DNB 1749-1809, friend of Matthew Baillie. DNB says he went to Portugal for 18 months in 1798

Johnson senr 14.8.1798 at Joseph Johnson's

Joseph Johnson's father was long dead so this was probably his older brother John, who according to A Liberal Publisher was a brewer of Everton who died in 1800. Directories also showed his address as Dale St Liverpool. No PCC will (John Johnson of Warrington PCC 1802 was not him) but probably PCYork will which I access less often

Fontana 14.8.1798 at Joseph Johnson's

Perhaps Gregorio Fontana 1735-1803 colleague of Volta's at Pavia, wrote to Sir Joseph Banks 1787, or Felice Fontana 1730-1805 Florentine scientist. I could find no reference to either of them visiting England at this time in the Italian Biographical Dictionary though I don't read Italian very well

dine at Pinkerton's, tea with him at Philips's 7.8.1798

In GD website the "him" is underlined, but clearly referred to John Pinkerton
