Krimee

Submitted by edpope on Fri, 04/10/2013 - 20:24

M(arshall) dines; agreement for Krimee 26.3.1802

See Bodleian Abinger c7 f95 and c7 f101, letters from Thomas Holcroft in Europe to Godwin. Holcroft sent Voyage dans le Crimee to give Marshall a book worth translating, it had already been translated from Russian to German to French, and was published by Robinson in 1802 as Travels in the Crimea, by a secretary to the Russian embassy. It had to compete with two other travel books on the Crimea issued in England in 1802

write to John Campbell, Emigrant-Dealer 6.1.1819

From Bodleian Abinger c19 f78, c12 f41-2 & c12 f53 this was clearly John Campbell, writer to the signet of Abercrombie Place, Edinburgh

abbe 21.3.1802 at King's

Unlikely to have been Abbe Carron whom Godwin called on on 10.7.1802 as he was in Godwin's 1796 list for 1802 at the right position in the sequence for July

Cosway

Submitted by edpope on Thu, 03/10/2013 - 16:06

call on Cosway 20.3.1802

There were few people of this surname in London so it is reasonable to suppose that this was Richard Cosway DNB 1742-1821 artist but it was a one-off appearance in Godwin's diary

McAdam

Submitted by edpope on Thu, 03/10/2013 - 15:55

call on Goldsmith with McAdam 16.3.1802 / 19.3.1802 sign with Goldsmith & McAdam

The event tag on 19.3.1802 in GD website suggests this related to Godwin renegotiating his tenancy. See my Goldsmith entry for Godwin's neighbour Charles Goldsmith. John Loudoun McAdam DNB 1756-1836 roadbuilder is an unlikely possible, becoming settled in Bristol at this time. The name was surprisingly rare also in the variant McAdams, most London instances I found were paupers. William Mackadam glover of Church Row Strand voted Fox 1784. PCC 1815 George Craig MacAdam physician to Forces Malta
