Name: Pouncy,
Gender: Male
Birth Date:

The Pouncys in the diary (initialled G and H) appear 76 times between 1816 and 1825. Therefore neither can be Benjamin Thomas Pouncy, draughtsman and engraver, who died in 1799. Nor can we assume any connection to Benjamin Thomas as his DNB entry makes no reference to mariage or children.

Although Godwin writes letters to Pouncy, nothing appears in the collected letter files.

In an article from the Examiner, 16 September 1821, an artist Pouncy is mentioned along with Landseer, but works by artists living and deceased were exhibited, so this could well be a reference to Benjamin Thomas Pouncy. Nothing is listed in the National Portrait Gallery.

The diary suggests that Pouncys might be associated with the Political Economy Club:
1821, April 30 'M. Marino, C. IX, st. 91. Seek H Pouncy . Political Economy Club instituted. '
The following day's entry reads:
'Marino, st. 108. Call on G Pouncy '
In fact, the Club records make no mention of Pouncy or Godwin, suggesting that there is no connection and that Godwin's mentioning of the club might be retrospective - or amatter for some feeling, given that a founder member was Malthus

The British Book Trades Index does list a Henry Pouncy, apprenticed in 1799 who died in 1857; and there are various newspaper advertisements, for example, what seems to be a stationers Pouncy and Son, at 65 Longacre, London, is listed in The Times.
