Life


Howard entered the navy, where Captain Frederick Marryat was his shipmate. On obtaining a discharge, he began to contribute sea stories to periodicals. When Marryat became editor of the Metropolitan Magazine in 1832, he chose Howard as his sub-editor. Howard later joined the staff of the New Monthly Magazine, which was then edited by Thomas Hood.

Edward Howard died suddenly on 30 December 1841.[2] His widow, Anne Roper Howard, remarried in 1846, to Octavian Blewitt, secretary to the Royal Literary Fund.
