Jacobs is of the opinion that Howell edited the 1663 edition of Mare Clausum. It should be noted that the card catalogue system of the Library of Congress provides Howell's name in connection with that edition. For what is apparently another view, see Vann, W. H., Notes on the Writings of James Howell (Waco: Baylor University Press, 1924).Google Scholar
