Birthdate: 1714 or 1716?[edit]

Article gives conflicting info (lead section, picture caption and Category:births)

Tobacco[edit]

Although he was a quack known for selling dubious remedies, Hill may have been the first to associate the use of tobacco with cancer. There is a paper about this [1], I will try and get access. Skeptic from Britain (talk) 14:29, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kew[edit]

Apparently the guy did the first edition of the Hortus Kewensis at the behest of the royal family. Should prolly be mentioned somewhere in the article. — LlywelynII 03:59, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
