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.

He ran it with Charles Lamb, but publication ceased in August of that year.
