Ray, John (1607–1705). Naturalist. The son of an Essex blacksmith, Ray was enabled to study at Cambridge, where he subsequently taught for thirteen years. Supported by prosperous friends, he pursued his career as a naturalist, attempting a systematic description of all living things. Botany remained his first love and he laid the foundation for a system of classification based on all structural characteristics, setting out many of the natural orders now employed by botanists.
