5.3.1791 Nichols at B Hollis has been coded in GD website to John Nichols of the Gentleman's Magazine but the 1796 list (and the 1794 version) had Nichols MP early in 1791 so this would have to have been John Nicholls 1745-1832 (History of Parliament) a signatory to the Friends of the People 11.4.1792. This also puts in doubt the other dates coded to John Nichols except the one recording his death, and there were no other Nichols in the 1796 list. 3.1.1794, 6.6.1794, 17.6.1794, 27.11.1794, 29.11.1794, 16.12.1794, 20.12.1794 and 25.5.1795; six of these were associated with Willis Webb (whose father was an MP) and probably all referred to the MP, and 13.1.1798 was at B Hollis' again so likely to have been the same person. 16.4.1802 with Phillips seems more likely to have been the publisher
