The author was son of a private soldier in Fort George, and was a self-taught mathematician, while working as a cork- 

 cutter, carj^enter, and flax-dresser. 



' His reputation as a mathematician rests mainly on the ' Treatise on Spherical Geometry.' When discussing some loci 

 of spherical angles and triangles, and certain lines drawn on spherical and cylindrical surfaces, the author notes many 

 analogies between the properties of lines meeting on the surface of the sphere and those drawn to meet a plane 

 circle.'— D. :N'. B.

' In 1S06 Howard began to keep a meteorological register, and published the result of his observations in his ' Climate of 

 London '. His instruments were, from a modern point of view, rude and insufficient ; but for the early years of the 

 century his are almost the only observations that have been preserved.' — D. N. B.

An elaboration of the author's theory, first mentioned in his ' Climate of London ', in 1818, of ' alternate periods of 7 and 

 10 years, the former ascending, the latter descending in the scale of heat.' It was Giuseppe Toaldo (v. Nos. 4868-9, ante) 

 who first suggested the 18 years' cycle. 



9514 Essay on the Modifications of Clouds, 8vo. cl. [scarce), Qs6d 1832 



' This essay gave him a scientific fame. It applies the methods of Linnaeus to the varying forms of the clouds. The 

 author defines their three chief modifications, which he names Cirrus, Cumulus, and Stratus, and four intermediate or com- 

 pound modifications, the best known of which is the Nimbus or rain-cloud. These names have been generally adopted by 

 meteorologists'. — Thomas Hodgkin, D.C.L.
