I've amended the information on Howells' religious views and the performance of Hymnus Paradisi based on information in Spicer.

I slightly altered the area regarding the reception of Howells' Piano Concerto #2. The cold reception did not completely muffle his compositions, as we can see by the release dates of his compositions in the List of compositions by Herbert Howells. It was just that none of these works, besides Lambert's Clavichord, were significant works of any stature:
In his twenties and thirties his compositional output focussed chiefly on orchestral and chamber music, including two piano concertos. The hostile reception given to the second of these in 1925 largely silenced Howells' compositional activities for almost ten years.

Palmer (1992) (pp. 16-17) substantiates Parry, then Director of the RCM, as an important mentor even if not formally a teacher of Howells. Paul Emmons07:52, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Palmer re radium treatment: "At that time there was no known cure, and a leading heart specialist asked him if he would be willing to act as a guinea pig for radium treatment, then untried. For two years he went twice a week to St Thomas's Hospital for radium injections in the neck." (p.22)Paul Emmons17:06, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't it superfluous (as well as imprecise) to say that Howells lived for another 70 years after the Radium treatment in 1915? Apart from the fact that it was only 68 years, we know his dates.
