Charles Howard Hinton was a mathematician from Britain, although he died in America.
Hinton's "scientific romance", the "Unlearner", is cited by John Dewey in Art as Experience, chapter 3
 During this period of transition from a mainly feudal and ecclesiastical culture to a predominantly secular one, many notable mathematicians had other occupations: Luca Pacioli (founder of accounting); Niccol Fontana Tartaglia (notable engineer and bookkeeper); Gerolamo Cardano (earliest founder of probability and binomial expansion); Robert Recorde (physician) and Franois Vite (lawyer)
