Raynal at Joyce's 16.1.1806 / adv. at Joyce's 17.2.1806

Godwin noted reading works by Raynal several times between 1791 and 1832. This was the Abbé Raynal 1713-1796. Joyce's visitor may have been an emigré relative of his. The French Biographical Index lists four other Raynals who were alive in 1806 but in the texts referred to by the index I could find no sign that they had gone to England. Francois Raynal 1726-1810 religious and orientalist / Jean Raynal 1723-1807 historian / Pierre Raynal 1755-1833 schoolmaster / Pierre Raynal 1768-1849 schoolmaster

7.5.1807 dine at Philips's with mrs Mavor

The wife of William Fordyce Mavor (DNB 1758-1837) who has a person record on GD website. According to DNB her maiden name was Ann Harris. Her death was recorded in Jackson's Oxford Journal 21.9.1822.

7.8.1806 Brian & Mulready call

The only Brian in Godwin's diary. There are a number of examples of O'Brien and O'Briens but none of Brien Briens Brians O'Brian or O'Brians. No reason to think Brian was connected to Mulready who may have just happened to call on the same morning.
