Richard Weston Orden de los libros
Originalmente un mercader de medias de Leicester, este autor se describió en algunas de sus obras anónimas como un "caballero de campo". Su extensa obra publicada demuestra claramente un vasto conocimiento de las plantas y la literatura botánica. Exploró la agricultura práctica y la jardinería, catalogó a escritores ingleses en estos campos y se adentró en la botánica sistemática con obras de varias partes y títulos latinos. Más allá de sus actividades botánicas y agrícolas, también contribuyó a la historia y la literatura de su región natal.
