Probably William Owen (Pughe) DNB 1759-1835. His Cambrian Biography was published London 1803 with no publisher named and the final instalment of his Welsh & English Dictionary was printed the same year for Evan Williams, Strand successor to the late Richmond Blamire (his will PCC 1799). So no clear link to Richard Phillips, but Godwin's reading of Davies & Owen on 14.4.1805 the day after Owen had called suggests Owen had lent him his own work, and Celtic Researches (published 1804) by Edward Davies DNB 1756-1831, in the preface to which the work of Mr Owen was referred to. (GD website has te1551 and te1552 unable to identify; cala is the French word meaning Godwin browsed here and there in the texts). DNB states Pughe and Davies were acquainted, and Edward Williams DNB 1747-1826 whom Godwin had met in 1795 was friends of both, and Owen also knew Sharon Turner whom Godwin had known since 1792. Owen took the name of Pughe in 1806, and apparently from 1803 onwards was a follower of Joanna Southcott. I wonder what Godwin made of that? Owen from 1813 on seems correctly coded in GD website to Robert Owen DNB 1771-1858
