William HOWELL d.ca.1681?
Biographical Note
Possibly the barrister of Lincoln’s Inn, Master in Chancery c.1673. If so, he is recorded by Foster as having matriculated at St John's College, Oxford in 1654, with no information about graduation.
Books
Howell's library was auctioned in London, 7.11.1681, as part of a joint sale with the books of Ralph Button and Thankfull Owen. The catalogue lists 1931 lots, plus 5 vols of pamphlets, but does not distinguish which books came from which source. 1164 lots were in Latin (including 127 medical books and 59 mathematical ones), 60 were in Italian, French or Spanish, and the remaining 707 were in English.
