Henry William Lovett Hime (1840-?) A (if not the) major proponent of the theory that
Roger Bacon had discovered gunpowder independently, and before the Chinese. Influential in his theory that a cryptogram existed in a Bacon manuscript giving a precise formula for gunpowder. A
Royal Artillery officer (last rank I could find in his publications was colonel). He published works on many topics, including artillery/military reforms, physics, and even musical critique. Unfortunately, I have yet to to locate biographical information on him. As he is sometimes referred to just as Henry Hime, some editors have confused him with
Albert Henry Hime, creating wrong wiki-links.
