John Fenwick (radical)

John Fenwick (baptised 1757 – 1823) was an English army officer, political radical and Irish nationalist writer. He was a close friend of William Godwin, a loyal associate of James Coigly, and the husband of Eliza Fenwick.

Life
In mid-1801 Fenwick bought from Daniel Lovell a newspaper, the Albion and Evening Advertiser. He ran it with Charles Lamb, but publication ceased in August of that year. He had known Lamb through Godwin, from the previous year.

Works
Fenwick wrote for Richard Phillips a biographical sketch of William Godwin, for Public Characters of 1799–1800, from personal acquaintance, and asserting Godwin's personal fame of the period.
