GODWIN DIARY: . Dr Edwards 17.7.1805 at Johnson's, for the other Edwards at Johnson's see Edwards, James
" He was at SCI meetings in 1792 (and a member of the Literary Fund), but goes over to France and published on the new constitution. It's not quite clear to me when he goes over. He was a medical doctor and the Literary Fund gives an address in Coleman Street in 1792. He's at the Literary Fund meeting in May 1792 that votes funds to John Oswald, so must go over to France after then, probably, as many others did, for the summer, and perhaps for the July 14 anniversary" (private communication, Jon Mee).
