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.

Sometime (? before 1817) he constructed three presses to the Ruthven design, so called after its inventor, Alexander Ruthven, which he then used for all his printing work.

Limited Edition of only 425 copies. Third Edition. Nice example." The story is about an attempt to uncover the identity of Mr W.H., the enigmatic dedicatee of Shakespeare's Sonnets. It is based on a theory, originated by Thomas Tyrwhitt, that the Sonnets were addressed to one Willie Hughes, portrayed in the story as a boy actor who specialized in playing women in Shakespeare's company. This theory depends on the assumption that the dedicatee is also the Fair Youth who is the subject of most of the poems. The only evidence for this theory is a number of sonnets (such as Sonnet 20) that make puns on the words 'Will' and 'Hues." - Wiki.
