About the author

Richard Haines

1633–1685

A lively and unusual voice from 17th-century England, remembered for practical schemes as much as for pamphlets. His writing ranges from social reform and trade to everyday concerns like fishing and cider, giving a vivid glimpse of Restoration-era ideas.
