James Northcote (1746–1831), artist and author, appears regularly throughout the diary.

‘Godwin became a personal friend of James Northcote the portraitist – he painted Godwin in 1801 – and was introduced to more of the other leading artists of the day including Fuseli and, on 26 May 1796, William Blake who had illustrated one of Mary Wollstonecraft’s children’s books’ (St Clair, p. 163)

Northcote's portrait of Godwin is now in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Northmore attended one of Godwin’s post-wedding parties, folowing his marriage to Mrs Clairmont on the 30th of January 1802 with Lamb, Coleridge, Davy, and Charlotte Smith. (St Clair, p. 241)

Northcore is entered under 1796 on the 1796 lists, which matches his entry into the diary.

MS. Abinger c. 15, fols. 54-55: 21 Oct.
MS. Abinger c. 15, fol. 56: 9 Nov. Letter introducing Mr Harlow who wants to make a portrait of Godwin
