This refers to members of the Robinson publishing family after the demise of George Robinson with whom Godwin had a close relationship. The Robinsons were successful trading booksellers and publishers in England, in the following succession: Robinson and Roberts (1764–76); George Robinson (1776–84); George, George, John, and James Robinson (1784–93); George, George, and John Robinson (1794–1801); George and John Robinson (1802–6); George Robinson (1806–13); George and Samuel Robinson (1814–17); and Samuel Robinson (1818–30) (DNB). Given the difficulty in distinguishing between them, we have coded all relevant Robinson entries under this code. All Robinsons 1801-1824 are taken to be referring to the publishing family as this is prior to Mary Shelley's - and, it is assumed, Godwin's - acquaintance with the other Robinson family. As the nature of the calls change from the more commercial 'call on' to 'dines at' at this period, it is deemed relatively easy to distinguish between both families.
In 1788 and 1789 a 'Pol Robinson' appears who may be connected to this family but it appears to be more associated with Holcroft.
