 Peas
John Lydgate, a Benedictine monk of Bury St. Edmunds, writes a poem portraying London street life in the middle of the 15th century that includes the line: "Fresh gathered peas, young Hastings!" (Webber, Early Horticulturists, 1968).
John Wolridge, in Systema Horti-culturae (1688) lists the "grey, green, blew, white and Maple" and writes: "the large white and green Rouncival and the great Egg Pease we shall more particularly advise to be propagated in our Gardens." The largest of the Rouncival peas seems to be the Maple.
John Wolridge writes in Systema Horti-culturae (1688): "The Sugar Pease with the crooked Cods, the sweetest of all." He also warns about the damage birds are likely to inflict on this crop, a hazard recorded by many authors after this time.

Bowdler Sharpe was John Gould's assistant for many years and was the only man knowledgeable enough and sufficiently attuned to the famous ornithologist's vision to complete several of his works.
Wallich writes 'the present Work consists of a selection of plants made chiefly from a series of 1200 drawings, executed under my direction by Native Artists' (preface, p.x) The translation of the drawings onto stone was carried out by the Maltese born Maxim Gauci, perhaps the greatest of the early lithographers of botanical subjects.

Gould notes that the chief glory of the breeding plummage of the male Sparkling Pheasant are 'the feathers of of the lower part of the back and upper tail-coverts', 'being perfect in their structure and most richly coloured'.
In his all-encompassing work John Gould includes species from all corners of the eastern world, as Richard Bowdler Sharpe noted the work covers "Species from Palestine to the westward, and from the Moluccas to the east".
Gould chose to record the bird life from an area which, with the exception of the tropical areas of the American continent, includes the widest, and most colourful variety of bird life to be found anywhere in the world.

The DNB has confused him with another John Clayton, born in 1686, who came to Virginia at the end of the seventeenth century and contributed papers on medical botany to the Royal Society.
The present John Clayton had an estate on the Piankatank River in Mathews County, spent much time in collecting Virginia plants, and discussed them with J.F. and L.T. Gronovius, Linnæus, Kalm, Collinson, and Bartram.
The map, which was not issued in the first edition, documents Clayton's travels, "which show that he was seldom north of the Rappahannock or south of the James, and that his knowledge of the mountains did not extend beyond the Blue Ridge.

Dunton’s fictional Athenian Society published (from 1690–1697) 20 volumes of a scientific serial, The Athenian Mercury, advertised as “Resolving weekly all the most nice and curious questions propos’d by the ingenious.” Among the ingenious questioners were a number of women, and in 1691, Dunton introduced a special section for the ladies.
Few of us today are accustomed to thinking of John Evelyn as a great natural historian, and in this sense, Chambers’ frontispiece is a useful reminder of the dangers inherent in imposing our own straightforward narratives of scientific advance onto earlier ages.

Even in the middle of the seventeenth century, John Goodyer (1592 to 1644) thought it worthwhile to make the first English translation of the whole work.
John Sibthorp (1758 to 1796) used Goodyer's English Codex for his Flora Graeca (1806-1840); and Gunther's edition of Goodyer's translation was printed in 1934, and reprinted in 1959 and 1968.
In the late eighteenth century John Sibthorp came to Vienna with John Hawkins to study the Codex Vindobonensis.

In the next vacation at Revesby, Banks was delighted to find John Gerard's The Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes (London, 1597), but at Oxford he was shocked to learn that tuition in botany was unavailable because the Sherardian professor of botany, Humphrey Sibthorpe, did not lecture.
On 30 November 1778 he was elected to succeed Sir John Pringle as president of the Royal Society, a decision which widened the rift between the mathematicians and the naturalists and led to a crisis in the society in 1783-84.
Banks attracted an inner circle of accomplished collectors and botanists, of whom Solander, Jonas Dryander (1748-1810) and Robert Brown were in turn his botanist-librarians.
