29.3.1796 at Holcroft's / 31.10.1801 at D Stuart's. In 1796 list for 1801 / 27.2.1805 at Philips adv Heron (Peltier)
Jean Gabriel Peltier 1765-1825 (Index Biographigue Francaise). Fled to England in 1792 and returned to France 1820. Published a journal L'Ambigu and may have had British government support (Nat Arch HO42/26/37 HO42/29/177 PRO30/8/165). Plenty of detail on him from a search of newspapers on the name Peltier. He interceded in the scrap between John Wolcot and William Gifford in Wright's bookshop in 1800. He was tried and found guilty in 1803 for a libel on Napoleon Bonaparte, in which James Mackintosh defended him (Nat Arch TS11/429). He was probably the John Peltier who married at St Geo Han Sq 2.8.1799 Ann Andre, and who lived at 18 Warwick St, Golden Sq in 1805 (Holden's), at Duke St 1808-10 (Land Tax), and the John Peltier merchant who went bankrupt at Duke St in 1811 (B3/3894). Perhaps Godwin had forgotten meeting him at Holcroft'e in 1796?
