A work based upon Ray's Synopsis methodica stirpium Britannicarum, though not a translation of it, but is the first systematic account of British Plants in English. Wilson was a man in humble circumstances, a shoemaker, at Kendal. There is a good story about him in Pulteney's 'Sketches,' of how he was once sorely tempted to sell his own cow to buy a copy of Morison's 'Historia Plantarum,' and how a benevolent lady intervened and made him a present of it. In later life he became a teacher of botany, and removed to Newcastle, where his book was published. Henrey, 1501.
