Life[]
Gardner, a native of Bristol, was a wine merchant at Frampton-on-Severn, Gloucestershire. He was a friend of Thomas Chatterton and Edward Jenner. He wrote poetry under the pen name of "Hortensius".[1]
Writing[]
In 18th Century Sonnets, 1930, R.D. Havens said of Gardner's work: "Neither his verse nor his prose is without merit and the poorest of it is interesting because of the admiration it reveals for the poetry of Gray, Collins, Thomas Warton, and Bowles."[1]
