Godwin Diary

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1785 Campbell, last and in darker ink, and not in 1794 version. The entry in the 1796 list has not been coded to any person record on the GD website. It may have referred to Thomas Campbell DNB 1733-1795 whom Godwin met in early 1790. According to Campbell's diary (J L Clifford Dr Campbell's Diary of a Visit to England pp 96, 106) he visited London in 1775, 1777, 1781, October 1786, and December 1789. Though the diary had gaps, Campbell specified that the 1786 visit was his fourth visit to London.

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1785, also in 1794 version. There is a person record on GD website but this 1796 list entry is not coded to it

Samuel Heywood DNB 1753-1828

In 1794 version of Godwin's 1796 list for 1784, left out of 1796 list / 14.12.1796 Moir at House of Commons (Austrian Subsidy)

The listing below convinces me that it is pointless distinguishing between Thomson and Thompson (not a Tintin joke). Godwin may have sometimes used the two spellings to distinguish two people who appeared close to each other in the diary (e.g. possibly 18.9.1815), but he clearly also used both spellings randomly for the same person, see for example the Thomson/Thompson linked to Curran in 1817 or the two spellings of Marmaduke Thompson in 1804 and 1806. As I am working through the diary I naturally have less ideas about the later entries but they are set out below waiting for answers

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1783 crossed out, in 1794 version added in small letters along with Robinson and Cadell. Godwin added the three publishers together but crossed out the two who didn't become his publisher

James Dodsley DNB 1724-1797 bookseller

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1783, crossed out, and in 1794 version added in small letters with Robinson and Dodsley. Has a person record in GD website but the entry in 1796 list not coded to it

Thomas Cadell DNB 1742-1802 bookseller

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1780 and in 1794 version

Thomas Harmer DNB 1714-1788 mentioned in W St Clair, The Godwins and the Shelleys, as one of the ministers Godwin came into conflict with at Stowmarket

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1780 and also in the 1794 version, between Munnings and Harmer. There is a person record in GD website for 'generic' White but the entry in the 1796 list has not been coded to it. 22.1.1789 White (after Warton and before Kippis) at Robinson's / 24.1.1789 White (after Warton and before Kippis) at Hamilton's / no more for 3 years

In Godwin's 1796 list for 1779, also in 1794 version and list of 17 (at end of diary Vol VI see 1796 list on this website) though one of 5 from that list who were dropped in the list of 25 that preceded the1796 list. Person record in GD website but 1796 list entry not coded to it
