"On 11 June 1817 the nineteen-year old American Joseph Bevan, a student of Godwin's old friend James Ogilvie, ... asked [Godwin] for his advice on the course of studies it might be most advantageous for him to pursue. Godwin obliged and on 12 February 1818 sent him a long letter sketching a full curriculum." -- P. H. Marshall's William Godwin, p. 341-342.
