Henry Watson Fowler (10 March 1858 – 26 December 1933) was an English schoolmaster, lexicographer and commentator on usage of English.
In 1903, he moved to the island of Guernsey, where he worked with his brother Francis George Fowler on The King's English (1906), a work with the purpose of encouraging writers to be more simple and direct in their style.
Fowler and his younger brother volunteered for service in the British army in 1914, with the 56-year-old Henry lying about his age.

Fowler made his real mark on the English language only after moving to the remote island of Guernsey in 1903.
He and his brother, Francis George Fowler, proposed to write "a sort of English composition manual, from the negative point of view, for journalists & amateur writers." The outcome, The King's English, was published by the Oxford University Press and quickly became a de facto standard.
Fowler addressed these point in A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, first published in 1926 and still in print.

 History of Friedrich II by Thomas Carlyle: OF BRANDENBURG AND THE HOHENZOLLERNS Chapter 1 BRANNIBOR: HENRY THE FOWLER
Henry the Fowler was so happy as to have the fact without any mixture of mendacity: we are in the sad reverse case; reverse case not yet altogether COMPLETE, but daily becoming so,--one of the saddest and strangest ever heard of, if we thought of it!--But to go on with business.
Markgraviates there continued to be ever after,--Six in Henry`s time:--but as to the number, place, arrangement of them, all this varied according to circumstances outward and inward, chiefly according to the regress or the reintrusion of the circumambient hostile populations; and underwent many changes.
Henry`s son and successor, if not himself, is reckoned to have founded the Cathedral and Bishopric of Brandenburg,--his Clergy and he always longing much for the conversion of these Wends and Huns; which indeed was, as the like still is, the one thing needful to rugged heathens of that kind.

 Reviews: Warden of English
Henry Fowler was one of the odder characters ever to be associated with Oxford (even including the present writer).
In these days of professionally trained lexicographers, with their computerised corpora and the cornucopia of electronically searchable texts now available, it is hardly imaginable that two individuals, working on a small island with no access to primary sources, should in five years have created a complete dictionary from scratch.
Henry returned to Guernsey, where he completed work on what was finally called Modern English Usage (though one of his earlier suggestions was Oxford Pedantics).
