John Blackstone (1713-1753) was a London apothecary with strong family links to Harefield, and this work was " the first flora of Harefield…The work contained the description of 523 plants, now considered to represent the majority of the plants growing in that area at the time, and has since been compared with recent data and used to analyse local extinctions. At this time Blackstone had also been commissioned to collect plants for the Apothecaries's Garden in Chelsea and for the Oxford Physic Garden, as well as maintaining correspondence with Sir Hans Sloane, a friend of his grandfather's". The book is dedicated to Sloane.
