His father, a Nonconformist minister, died young, and never inspired love or much regret in his son; but in spite of wide differences of opinion, tender affection always subsisted between William Godwin and his mother, until her death at an advanced age.
William Godwin was educated for his father's profession at Hoxton Academy, where he studied under Andrew Kippis the biographer and Dr Abraham Rees of the Cyclopaedia.
He was at first more Calvinistic than his teachers, becoming a Sandemanian, or follower of John Glas, whom he describes as a celebrated north-country apostle who, after Calvin had "damned ninety-nine in a hundred of mankind, has contrived a scheme for damning ninety-nine in a hundred of the followers of Calvin."

There he became part of a group of liberals and nonconformists which included William Blake and Thomas Paine.

From the Biographia Britannica by Andrew Kippis: "...by his wife Margaret...he had issue Thomas, Arthur, Cecilia, Ann, Margaret, andc." The notation "andc." may indicate more children, and if so, one of these may have been John Baker, born 1598 and died April 25, 1672.

 Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
From his principal tutor, Andrew Kippis, he acquired the stimulating idea which lies at the heart of Political Justice: man is born free and has no obligation to submit to the will of a government unless he judges that will to be imposed for the good of all.
Encouraged by Kippis, Godwin formed an enduring interest in those periods when England had undergone a liberalizing change -- the Reformation, the Commonwealth, and the `Glorious Revolution' of 1688 to which all Dissenters looked back with nostalgia and pride.
By the summer of 1783, he had, perhaps under the influence of Andrew Kippis, decided that a teaching career was more congenial than the pulpit.

None made Godwin much money and it was only when his former tutor, Andrew Kippis, invited him to write the British and Foreign History section for the New Annual Register, in July 1784, that he was assured of an adequate income.
Although Godwin drew on principles canvassed in the debate, and on the work of the philosophes, Political Justice was also powerfully influenced by Godwin's Dissenting education and his involvement in Dissenting circles around Kippis and Timothy and Thomas Brand Hollis.
A second edition of Godwin's Political Justice, in which some of the more rationalist and utopian statements of the first edition were modified, was published at the end of 1795.
