John Howe is also the author of Matthew Poole's Annotations on 1, 2 and 3 John.

 

[Don Kistler]

Howe was highly regarded, and Spurgeon said a man should sell his shirt, if necessary, to obtain his works. But personally I found them pedantic and very difficult to work through.

There is a biography by Robert F. Horton called John Howe (1905) which looks good and it's downloadable at http://books.google.com/

Also available for free downloading at Google Books is James Marsh's 1830 edition of the Select Practical Works of Rev. John Howe and Dr. William Bates.

Isn't he the one that Iain Murray said is the most philosophical and difficult of the Puritans, and that compared to him John Owen is a piece of cake?
