The Annals of Agriculture: 1780s

 

Arthur Young was a writer who writes numerous books on agriculture and other sciences despite not being a good farmer. Luckily he was an anonymous patron whom he commissioned a book for? This patron went by the name of Ralph Robinson of Windsor and his suggestions to Young's book revolutionised the agricultural industry. It sold out almost everywhere and farmers met newer standards daily with precursors for our modern health systems being established.


Who was this Ralph Robinson? 


Why he was none other than King George III himself writing from Windsor Castle in a rare moment of leisure!


God Save The King!
