Before he was twenty, he had, in 1831, become second master of Helton Grammar School under Derwent Coleridge, the son of the great poet-metaphysician and himself a linguist of unusual gifts. He soon succeed Coleridge as head-master there from June 1843 to December 1847. Johns began his forty years of authorship in 1833 with a modest volume of Chronological Rhymes on English History, which went into several editions; and was followed by what we may well suppose to have been the more congenial Flora Sacra, published in 1840. In 1841 he graduated as Bachelor of Arts at Trinity College, Dublin, and, in the same year, was ordained deacon, not, however, becoming a priest until 1848. Meanwhile, in 1847, he began the publication of his popular Botanical Rambles, in four parts according to the seasons, which was not completed until 1852; and about the same time he made his most important botanical discovery, viz. the wealth of rarities on the promontory of the Lizard. In his Notes on British Plants, contributed to Hooker's London Journal of Botany in 1847. Illustrated with sixty four full page watercolour studies. This edition contains an appendix including the Pipe-Wort tribe and the Sedge Tribe and the Grass Tribe. Ref SS 5.
