Sermons On Some Types of the Old Testament, Longacre Chapel, 1829, some pencil annotations to fly leaf and Contents, 554pp some middle and last pages blank; and Sermons III, two autograph manuscript books written in brown ink, calf with tooled gilt spines. 8vo. (2)Provenance: sold on behalf of Gregynog Hall, surplus to the collectionAuctioneers Notes: Rev. William Howels (1778–1832) was a Welsh priest of the Anglican Church, known as an evangelical preacher. The eldest of 12 children of Samuel Howells, he was born at Llwynhelyg, a farmhouse near Cowbridge in Glamorgan. After some years' study under the Rev. John Walton and Dr. Williams, the master of Cowbridge school, he went in April 1800 to Wadham College, Oxford leaving three years later without a degree. An elegy by Howels on his tutor Walton in 1797, published in the Gloucester Journal, was noticed by Robert Raikes, who offered him journalistic work. At Oxford he was under Baptist influence; but he was ordained by Richard Watson, Bishop of Llandaff in 1804 to the curacy of Llangan in Glamorgan. Both he and his vicar drew adverse comment by preaching at Methodist chapels. In 1812 Howels became curate in the united London parishes of St. Andrews-by-the-Wardrobe and St Anne, Blackfriars, to William Goode, who died in 1816. In 1817 he moved on as the lessee of the episcopal chapel in Long Acre, where he gathered together an audience. His strongly evangelical sermons were popular, and his self-denying life, though with eccentricities, baffled critics. Howels died on 18 November 1832, and was buried in Islington. His views were taken at the time to be Calvinistic Methodist, and he strongly opposed those of the Irvingites.Comments: edges rubbed, contents appear complete, inspection advised.
