 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1784 - James Marshall , William Godwin's friend, to St. Vincent, met John Collins  1809 - J. F. Newton is reported to have read Lambe's report in 1809, possibly becoming a patient, then wrote his *Return to Nature* in 1811.  1809 - William Godwin met John Frank Newton and Thomas Turner who were linked to Bracknell group in 1803     1809 - Mary W. Godwin (age 12) met John Frank Newton  1812 - Percy Bysshe and Harriet Shelley met William Godwin, then John Frank Newton (whilst Mary was in Scotland)  1813 - Shelley and frist wife, Harriet moved into the Bracknell group. During this time Cornelia Turner (nee De Boinville) was teaching Shelley Italian, which has been alleged to have caused some resentment from Harriet, but there is no real evidence that she was unhappy about it.  1814 - Shelley eloped with Mary W. Godwin      A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly.  Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value.  - Hits: 1464    ###  Vegan Recipes   - [![VEGAN CASHEW BUTTER](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/th10%20674_2bce2b5544d6f9e461c7c8088cf7176d.jpg "VEGAN CASHEW BUTTER")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-cashew-butter.html "VEGAN CASHEW BUTTER")           ####  [VEGAN CASHEW BUTTER](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-cashew-butter.html "VEGAN CASHEW BUTTER")            [Breakfast and brunch](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/breakfast-and-brunch.html) [Vietnam](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/vietnam.html) -
