Edmund Howes (fl. 1607–1631), was an English chronicler.

Biography

Howes issued in 1615 an expanded version of Stow's well-known Annales or Chronicle, with an historical preface, and a continuation from 1600, the date of the last edition, to 1615. According to Howes's own account, Archbishop Whitgift had suggested this task to him, and he received little encouragement while engaged on it. In 1631 he published his final edition of the Annales, with a dedication to Charles I, and a concluding address to the lord mayor and aldermen of London. Howes lays much stress on his love of truth, and the difficulties caused him in his labours by "venomous tongues". In a letter to Nicholas, dated 23 December 1630, he refers to the passage of his work through the press, and mentions Sir Robert Pye as a friend. There was a further 1631 edition of the Annales, with Howes's additions.
