Did you know... that Godfrey Howitt had to wait over ten years for his family to visit him in Victoria and in the same year he also played host to three Pre-Raphaelite artists?

Etymologist or entomologist?[edit]

The article identifies Howitt as an etymologist, but later refers to his work in entomology. The former is words, the latter is bugs. Which was he? (I'm guessing from the context that he was an entomologist, not an etymologist, but it's possible that he was interested in both the roots of plants and the roots of words.) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 01:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
