This entry indicates a call on the publishers Colburn and Bentley, possibly to sign up for his last novel, Deloraine, in the wake of the success of Cloudesley (St Clair notes that Colburn would have taken another novel immediately following Cloudesley). The note may relate to the publishing of the first four of Godwin's novels in standard one-volume editions by Bentley.

See St Clair, p. 482.
