16.10.1794 Lovel at Newgate / 31.7.1795 at Newton's / 30.12.1795 again / 14.1.1796 again / 2.2.1796 at King's / 9.3.1796 again / 25.5.1800 at King's / 17.12.1801 mrs Lovel at Lamb's with Southey / 26.9.1811 write to and call on / 18.5.1822 call on with MJ / 25.5.1822 Lovel (Brides Passage) calls.
The first instance above must have been Robert Lovell (DNB died 3.5.1796) the friend and brother-in-law of Coleridge and Southey (M Ray Adams, Studies in the Literary Backgrounds of English Radicalism, p133; Hazlitt's Works v.3 p.278). The next five (four at Newton's and one at King's) could have been Robert Lovell as they were before his death. The next instance, at King's in 1800, was certainly not, and was more likely Daniel Lovell DNB d.1818 and the same as 1796 Lovel at King's. Mrs Lovel in 1801 at Lamb's was almost certainly Robert Lovell's widow Mary nee Fricker. The letter and call in 1811 may have been Daniel Lovel DNB died 27.12.1818 who published the 'Statesman' from 1806 and was in prison in 1811 for a libel on the Life Guards respecting an incident involving Sir Francis Burdett. The earlier Lovel entries at Newton's could have been Daniel as likely as Robert. Nothing earlier is said about Daniel Lovell's life in the DNB but he was 60 when he died (burial St Bride's Fleet St 3.1.1819) and there was a Daniel Lovell merchant of Lawrence Lane bankrupt 1789 certificate 1790, and of Tokenhouse Yard with Thomas Lovell bankrupt 1797 certificate 1798. John Fenwick is said to have bought the Albion newspaper from him in 1799. Daniel Lovell of Tokenhouse Yard was briefly in Kings Bench prison from 1.2.1798 to 3.4.1798 at the suit of Richard Miller, James Jenkins and William Redaway, (see Nat Arch C 13/231/18 Haussoullier v Walter Gordon, John King, Daniel Lovell and others including those three creditors of Lovell's, see my entry for Houssalaer which has more about Lovell) and a Daniel Lovell was there again from 4.6.1807 to 13.6.1807 for libels. And see my entry for Housselaer with details of the Statesman in 1808. The final two instances of Lovel in 1822 could refer to Robert Lovell's son Robert who is said to have become a printer in London 1824 (DNB). Brides Passage was next to the Fleet Street bookshop of Richard Carlile, who was in prison in 1822.
