himself to the affairs of Guernsey, of which he was a justice and member of the legislature. He married in 1808 Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Saumarez, by whom he had two sons: Thomas, a captain in the 55th foot (d. 1843), and Charles Ross de Havilland, a clergyman, who also died before his father, and two daughters. He died at Beauvoir, Guernsey, on 23 Feb. 1866, aged 90.

HAWARD, FRANCIS (1759–1797), engraver, born on 19 April 1759, became in 1776 a student of the Royal Academy, and in the same year engraved in mezzotint a portrait of James Ferguson the astronomer, after J. Northcote. His other engravings in mezzotint are ‘Master Bunbury,’ after Sir Joshua Reynolds (1781), a justly admired print, and ‘Euphrasia,’ after W. Hamilton. Haward subsequently adopted the fashionable stipple manner, or rather the mixed style, of Bartolozzi, in which he attained genuine excellence. His principal engravings in this method are ‘Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic Muse,’ and ‘Cymon and Iphigenia,’ after Sir Joshua Reynolds. The former was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1787, and the latter in 1797. He also exhibited in 1783 ‘A Cupid,’ in 1788 ‘Portrait of Madam d'Eon in her 25th year, from a picture by Angelica Kauffmann,’ in 1792 an unfinished engraving, and in 1793 a finished proof of ‘The Prince of Wales,’ after Sir Joshua Reynolds. Haward was elected an associate engraver in 1783, and was eventually appointed ‘engraver to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales.’ He resided for many years in Marsh Street, Lambeth, and is stated to have died there in 1797. His last engraving, however, the ‘Cymon and Iphigenia,’ bears the address of 3 Little George Street, Westminster. Among his other engravings are ‘The Infant Academy,’ after Reynolds, portraits of Charles, marquis Cornwallis, and of Captain William Cornwallis, both after D. Gardner, and others after C. Rosalba, W. Hamilton, and A. Zucchi. His widow received a pension from the Royal Academy for forty-two years.

HAWARD, SIMON (fl. 1572–1614), divine. [See Harward.]


HAWARDEN, EDWARD (1662–1735), Roman catholic divine, eulogised by Bishop Milner as ‘one of the most profound theologians and able controversialists of his age,’ the son of Thomas Hawarden of Croxteth, Lancashire, was born on 9 April 1662, and was educated at the English College at Douay. He was ordained priest on 7 June 1686. He had been previously engaged as classical tutor in his college, and now was appointed professor of philosophy. He took his degree of B.D. at the university of Douay, and was immediately afterwards placed at the head of a colony of priests sent in September and October 1688 from Douay to Oxford. When James II had determined to make Magdalen College a seat of catholic education, Hawarden was intended for the tutorship of divinity at Magdalen. The expected revolution forced him to leave Oxford on 16 Nov. and return to Douay, where he was installed as professor of divinity, and held the office for seventeen years. He took the degree of D.D. soon after his return, and was appointed vice-president of the college. In 1702 he was an unsuccessful candidate for one of the royal chairs of divinity in Douay University. A little later he was groundlessly accused of Jansenism. He left Douay in September 1707, and for a few years conducted a mission at Gilligate, Durham. On the death of his friend Bishop Smith in 1711 he exchanged that mission for one at Aldcliffe Hall, near Lancaster, which he probably left in 1715, on the seizure of the hall by the commissioners for forfeited estates. Before 1719 he was settled in London, had been appointed ‘catholic controversy writer,’ and had published an important work. On the publication of the second edition of Dr. Samuel Clarke's ‘Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity,’ which came out in 1719, a conference was arranged by the desire of Queen Caroline between Hawarden and Clarke for the express purpose of discussing the Trinitarian
