Howell (1788-1863) was a bookbinder and printer. He later opened a shop as a curiosity dealer and was an inventor and amateur dentist and doctor.

The object of this essay is merely an attempt to clear up a difficulty...relating to the manner in which the ancients constructed their Polycrota or war-vessals. This was his first book.
