From 3.2.1792 to 1.8.1797 there were 68 'call on Davis' entries, often next to a call on Robinson, and on 4.1.1793 'best book that ever was published'. These probably all referred to the printer Jonas Davis of Chancery Lane c.1756-1827, who had been an assistant to Archibald Hamilton (see John Nichols, Literary Anecdotes vol 3 p398-9) and who was mentioned as Davis, 91, Chancery Lane in a letter fron Godwin to Wollstonecraft. In the five and a half years of Godwin calling on Davis there were just 2 'Davis calls' entries, on 19.5.1792 and 18.11.1796; these may have also been Jonas Davis.

9.5.1790 Staunton at Paradise's and 23.5.1790 there.

Sir George Leonard Staunton DNB 1737-1801 Fellow of Royal Society is a likely Paradise guest. Staunton appeared in the 1794 version of Godwin's 1796 list for 1790 (crossed out) but in the 1796 version for 1795. Godwin called on him 9.4.1795. Godwin may have overlooked or forgotten the earlier encounters or perhaps considered the 1790 meetings as insufficient contact (see Wolcot, John for a similar move)
