Henry Gardiner Adams (c.1811–1881) was an English druggist and chemist, known as an author and anthologist.
[2] Adams acted as secretary to the Mechanics Institute at Chatham.
Bankruptcy proceedings against his druggist and chemist business in Burgate Street, Canterbury were announced in 1872.
[3][4][5][6] In 1854 Adams edited the book God's Image In Ebony by the British abolitionists Frederick Chesson and Wilson Armistead.
In the introduction to God's Image In Ebony, Adams argued that all human beings had a common origin, and hence that the enslavement of black people was immoral.
