Gertrud Mara DNB 1749-1833 which says she left England 1801 but newspaper ads make it clear she sang in London up till April 1802, see Morning Post 22.4.1802 which announced she was to quit England in a few weeks
Sealy calls 03.04.1802
A fairly common name (spelt also Sealey, Seally) and just one call on Godwin. see work notes for possibles
call on Downman 3.4.1802
Perhaps John Downman DNB 1750-1824 (which says he was itinerant after 1800). Compare call on Cosway 20.3.1802, both uncommon names, both could have been the artist of that name, and both called on by Godwin once but never featured in his diary again.

It had to compete with two other travel books on the Crimea issued in England in 1802

From Bodleian Abinger c19 f78, c12 f41-2 & c12 f53 this was clearly John Campbell, writer to the signet of Abercrombie Place, Edinburgh
