W Twiss

Submitted by edpope on

21.7.1808 call on Morgan, R C L (W Twiss) / 2.8.1808 call on Morgan, R C L (State Trials)

This was Dr Thomas Morgan librarian of Dr Williams Library, originally in Red Cross Street. From the brackets it seems W Twiss was someone Godwin was researching and the only candidate I found was William Twiss DNB 1744/5-1827 military engineer but I have no idea why Godwin would be interested in him and he doesn't seem to have written any books. Godwin may have been enquiring about someone in the Dissenters' Register of births

Samuel Best DNB 1737/8-1825 / Richard Brothers DNB 1757-1824 / Joanna Southcott DNB 1750-1814 / are all possibles but no doubt there were minor prophets who didn't make the DNB

Rosslyn

James St Clair Erskine DNB 1762-1837 2nd Earl of Rosslyn was a Burkeite Whig up to 1793 then became a soldier and returned to politics in 1814 as a Tory so not a natural patron for Godwin, but he did reply
