Francis Place, a former breeches maker, became a stalwart member of London's reform circles and formed a close bond with Bentham and members of his group. He helped Godwin for a number of years with his accounts and with establishing the bookshop on a firm financial footing - which drove the two men apart, as Place found it increasingly difficult to explain Godwin's debts except in terms of dishonesty. Locke's discussion of Godwin's dealings with Place is the most thorough of the biographies.
The first entry for Place is unlikely to be Francis - 'dine at Hts , w. M J; adv. (Place and Le Maitre) Buchan and Harwood' as it is separated by five years from the other entries (March 1804 to April 1809). Place appears in six entries in 1809 and this may be the year they first met. Place later seems to have remembered this as 1810: 'In the year 1810, Mr William Godwin sought my acquaintance, and I readily formed a friendship with him. I had never heard anything alleged against his moral character. I had heard much in his praise and I had benefited in no small degree by his writings. I was therefore pleased to have him for a friend'. It seems likely that Place has misremembered the year as 1810 rather than 1809. This is understandable wheras, given the impact that Political Justice had had on his intellectual development, it seems unlikely that he would have forgotten a private meeting with Godwin in 1804. This therefore has not been coded for Place.
There is then a very dense period of contacts until 1814 and much more sporadic contacts until 1821. The entries coded do not include several entries to W Place when Godwin is in Ireland in 1800, or the two entries to 'Place junr' in 1813.
