Godwin records his death. There are four more possible appearances - two meetings in 1793 (one at the theatre with Robinson, one at Robinson's) and two letters written by Godwin in 1802. These are likely to be Arthur Murphy. Murphy edited The Works of Cornelius Tacitus, with an Essay on the Life and Genius of Tacitus, in 4 vols. which was published by Robinson in 1793.
