Glasgow 1825-35
Born at Dalbeth near Glasgow, in 1785. Son of James Hopkirk and
Christian Glassford, he was educated in Glasgow, and matriculated
at Glasgow University in 1800. In 1813 he published Flora
Glottiana: a catalogue of the indigenous plants on the banks of the
River Clyde, and in the neighbourhood of the City of Glasgow.
Glasgow, 1813. In the same year he published a list of plants that
grew in the gardens at Dalbeth, and in 1816 succeeded in forming a
society to establish a Botanic Garden, and made a gift of the whole
of the Dalbeth collection to it. About 1818 Hopkirk began to turn
his attention to lithography. In June 1825 he became editor of
The Glasgow Looking Glass and shared the task of preparing
the plates with a Mr Heath who came from London and who did most of
the humourous drawings. In 1835, the University of Glasgow
conferred on him the degree of LL.D. He went to Ireland, and died
at Malone in Belfast on 24 August 1841. Peter Mackenzie wrote 'Mr
Thos Hopkirk, of Dalbeth, who had then [21 March 1828] become one
of the first lithographic writers in the city of Glasgow'.

Born in 1788. D.N.B. says that he was shop assistant to Robert
Kinnear in South Frederick Street, Edinburgh. This is likely to
have been around 1810-15, and that he spent five years with Duncan
Stevenson, the University Printers, where he 'effected improvements
in the art of stereotyping'. Burgess as apprentice to James
M'Cleish bookseller 3 September 1816. He had wide interests, he
published An Essay on the War-Galleys of the Ancients.
Edinburgh, 1826; The life and adventures of Alexander
Selkirk. Edinburgh, 1829; The life of Alexander
Alexander. Edinburgh, 1830; A concise and accurate account
of the accident that occurred at the sale of Lord Eldin's pictures
by a sufferer. Edinburgh, 1833. He is said to have edited
The journal of a soldier of the 71st Regiment, 1806-15;
The life of John Nichol, the Mariner; and to have written
several of Wilson's Tales of the Borders. He was probably
a relative of William Howell who shared a house with him at one
time. Leslie Fleming described him as 'a person who seemed to know
a little of everything, yet failed in most of his inventions... He
at one time tried the experiment of flying, and took his start from
somewhere about the foot of Ramsay Lane, finishing in the Nor'
Loch. He next tried by mechanical means to walk on the water, but
this was seen to be equally dangerous. He was occasionally employed
in taking the features of deceased persons. He made an ingenious
model of Edinburgh, now kept in Stevenson's foundry, for which he
got a few shillings after he left Stevenson's employment, being in
very straitened circumstances. He was employed in the foundry for a
lengthened period, and while there originated a process of moulding
by means of dry stucco which was a great success.' He died in
1863.

From the circumstances of William Howell bookbinder succeeding to
John Howell's business, and of William Howell wood engraver sharing
the same house with John Howell, it seems probable that the two
William Howell's are the same person, and a relative of John
Howell's.
