Godwin Diary

Godwin's diary Vol VII f 46v the first name in the 1796 list, Jocelyn. In the 1794 version Sir C Jocelyn

Conyers Jocelyn, of Hyde Hall Sawbridgeworth, baronet and Doctor of Medicine, died unmarried 1778 when the baronetcy went to his cousin and merged into the Earldom of Roden, see Burke's Peerage which wrongly gives his date of death as 1771. William Godwin's younger brother was christened Conyers Jocelyn Godwin on 8.1.1761. Godwin seems to have stayed at Hyde Hall on his way to London in 1773

Godwin's diary Vol VII f 46r: Lyttleton had mrs Robinson's premices. M

George Lyttelton DNB 1709-1773 and Mary Robinson DNB 1756?1758? - 1800. The DNB article notes Mrs Robinson's addresses, 14 St James Place 1792-7, but then a series of other London addresses as her financial situation worsened. Careful research could probably establish this connection but I don't have time at present. See Andrews, Francis

Godwin's diary Vol VII f 46r: M P Andrews, Lyttleton's Moloch, a letcherous old miser. M.

Francis Andrews 1718-1774 (A History of the Irish Parliament) fits the bill, in some people's views. There were no MPs with surname Andrews in English Parliament in 1754 - 1820. George Lyttelton DNB 1709-1773 would seem to be the likely author, but I can find no instance of Moloch in his works. M could be James Marshall or Basil Montagu among others

see Frederick Reynolds DNB 1764-1841 where it is stated that George Colman the younger DNB 1762-1836 befriended him at Westminster school, but the F R implies that Reynolds told Godwin this himself. See Martindale, Henry

Charles James Fox DNB 1749-1806. Not clear who L was, perhaps Thomas Lawrence, Sir Walkin Lewes, Dr William Lister? Latin word apud probably here in the sense of "according to", but not clear who C was (see Burke, Edmund)

f 46r of Vol VII of Godwin's diary after 24.9.1796 and before the "1796 list": Burke inherits £300 per annum, obtained by his elder brother in the character of a discoverer. C

Edmund Burke DNB 1730-1797 according to which he inherited in 1765 from his brother Garrett a small estate in Clogher co. Cork. Not sure what is meant by discoverer or who C was, presumably the source of the story, maybe Calonne, Canning, Carlisle, Coleridge or Cooper
