A propos de l’auteur
Henry Gardiner Adams (1811/1812–1881) was an English author and poet, best known for his works on natural history and floriculture. As a meticulous observer of the natural world, Adams penned works that conveyed both his love for nature and his scholastic inclination, such as ‘Nests and Eggs of Familiar British Birds, Second Series’ which was first published in 1855 following the success of the first series. His intent was to familiarize the reader with the wonders of bird life in Britain, encapsulating the appearance, habits, and habitats of various species in a manner accessible to both amateur enthusiasts and serious ornithologists alike. Adams’s writing is characterized by its descriptive and engaging style, intended to awaken an appreciation for the natural world among his readership. Beyond ornithology, H.G. Adams’s literary repertoire reflected a broad range of interests, including horticulture and poetry. His scholarship and passion for education materialized in several works that offered readers insights into botany and encouraged the connection between humans and nature. Sadly, despite his contributions to 19th-century natural history literature, Adams did not achieve lasting fame; today, his works are appreciated primarily by enthusiasts of Victorian literature and natural history.
