The so-called "1796 list" is at the end of Vol VII of Godwin's diary on folios 45 to 48 after the diary entry for 24.9.1796 and is transcribed on the GD website after that day. There is an earlier version of it in Abinger c 31 f 90-92 readable online in the Western Manuscripts section of the Bodleian Library website / e-Resources / All Resources, which goes nearly to the end of 1794 and probably dates from soon after 1.11.1794 (when its last name, Wharton, appeared in the diary). The version in the diary is preceded by a sort of top twenty-five list of Godwin's acquaintances on f 45v against which he wrote the year he met them and then numbered them in chronological order. The names in the list correspond closely though not exactly to the names underlined in the full list which starts on f 46v. To see the underlines you have to look at the original diary pages as the GD website has not transcribed them. In the 1794 version some names are also underlined and again these correspond closely but not exactly to the underlined names in the 1796 list. By matching the 1794 and 1796 list with the diary entries, a lot of identifications can be made firmer. Some of the names in the 1796 list (and from the middle of 1796 nearly all of them) have not been coded to their person record on the GD website, even though their diary entries have been, and I have made entries for such people on my website even if just to point out that fact. There was also a list of 17 names at the end of Vol VI of the diary after the entry for 20.4.1793, but probably dating from after 2.2.1794 when Godwin first met Parr, the last name in the list and which shows no sign of having been added later. The names were in the chronological order that Godwin met them - two of the names, Fordyce and Dyson, have been inserted above. Twelve of them also appeared in the list of 25, but five were dropped from that list (Fordyce, Barry, Stuart, Priestley and Logan) and seven - previous to Parr - were added (mrs Barbauld, Wolcot, miss Williams, Clementi, Crosdill, Inchbald and Merry) an interesting shift to include females and to prefer music over painting and lighter poetry over history and theology.
With one exception all the names in the list of 25 are underlined in both 1794 and 1796 lists (the last five in date order Godwin met after 1794 so are not in the 1794 list). The exception is Priestley who is underlined in the 1794 list but not in the 1796 list. There are three names not included in the 25 but probably added later, in the top right hand corner of the page, J Fordyce, G Stuart and J Logan, and they are all underlined in both 1794 and 1796 lists. Beneath them is a list of people who don't appear in the lists at all. They seem to be people Godwin considered important but didn't consider he'd met. Two of them appeared in the diary before 1796, Erskine and Calonne, but perhaps in circumstances where Godwin didn't actually get to meet them. (Wolcot is in the list of 25 but Godwin later moved him in the 1796 list from 1787 to 1792, perhaps because their 1787 meeting was slight). Two others, Bentham and Cumberland, Godwin met much later, and two, Burke and Cowper, he seems never to have met.
