Beccaria

Me Beccaria at tea 2.8.1802. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1802 / 5.8.1802 call on Me Beccaria

The 1796 list entry and four J Beccaria entries shortly after the two above have all been coded to a person record for J Beccaria on the GD website, the two entries above should surely be coded to it as well as the editorial notes seem to agree

Pagan, Mrs

Submitted by edpope on

mrs Pagan 14.7.1802 adv at dinner (J Napier dining)

I've noticed that those who "adv" at dinners in Godwin's diary were often connections of the invited guests. I'd be interested to hear of any contemporary references to this phenomenon. In the above case that would suggest that mrs Pagan was a Yeovil connection of Mary Jane Godwin's, like the Napiers, but I found no-one called Pagan from that area, Scotland being the usual origin of the surname.

Charpentier

Submitted by edpope on

Charpentier calls 4.7.1802

I suspect this call may have had some connection with Godwin & Richard Phillips' calls of two days before (see Miller). Benjamin Charpentier was a gilder of Titchfield St who took an apprentice in 1795 and advertised in the Morning Chronicle 19.8.1807 for some paintings by Russell lost in transit. There was also a William Charpentier jeweller of Soho in 1796 who died about 1800. PCC wills Gideon Ernest Charpentier of St Pancras 1797, Ann Charpentier of St James Piccadilly 1805

Tassaert

Submitted by edpope on

call on Tassaert 2.7.1802 with Philips. In Godwin's 1796 list for 1802 as Tassaret.

Philippe Joseph Tassart 1732-1803 history painter and president of Society of Artists. See Farington's diary (e.g. vol III p795), for his reputation as an art expert which may relate to the purpose of Godwin & Phillips' call (see Miller). On GD website he has a person record and his 1796 list entry is coded to it but not the 1802 entry although the editorial notes refer to it
