Burdett was a reforming politician associated for some years with John Horne Tooke. A leading figure of reform, he was a persistent critic of authority and was imprisoned in the Tower of London for three months for his savage criticism of the fiasco of the Walcheren Expedition in 1810, and jailed for three meonths in the Marshalsea for seditious libel in 1820 as a result of comments made regarding the Peterloo massacre, referring to 'those bloody Neroes'. He later became involved in the movement for Catholic Emancipation.
Burdett appears under 1796 in the 1796 lists, the year of his first appearance in the diary.

William Jones Burdett was the brother of Sir Francis Burdett and was also involved in reform politics. Three of the four contacts are at Horne Tooke's, and refer to either '2 Burdett's' or Burdett junr. The fourth contact is a letter in 1806 from W J Burdett. This letter and related correspondence refers to Godwin's letter to Francis Burdett two weeks prior to express his concern that he will not be in a position to meet the two notes of £100 that were due on the first of November 1806. In a further letter to W J Burdett on the 31 October Godwin expresses pain at the tone of Burdett's note and confesses he is unable to meet them.
