Botany and explorationFrom the age of 17, Hart conducted a botanical survey of Donegal (lasting until 1898), which led to his publication Flora of the County Donegal, widely regarded as his most important botanical work. The publication was destroyed during a fire as part of the 1916 Easter Rising.[3] In 1886, H. C. Hart wagered fifty guineas with the naturalist R. M. Barrington that he could walk the 111 km between the tram terminus in Terenure in Dublin, Ireland to the summit of Lugnaquilla in Wicklow and back in under 24 hours. Hart, accompanied by Sir Frederick Cullinan, walked from Terenure to Lugnaquilla, in the Wicklow Mountains - a total of 75 miles - and back in 24 hours, making a record at the time. Hart left Terenure at 10.58pm on 20 June 1886 and arrived back at 10.48pm the next evening.[4][5] The success of this challenge is remembered by the commemorative Hart Walk[5]. In 1875-1876, Hart accompanied Sir George Strong Nares as a naturalist on his British Arctic Expedition.[6] He was also a naturalist on the Palestine Exploration Fund's 1883-1884 expedition to Palestine.[3] Personal lifeIn 1887, he married Edith Susan Anna Donelly (1852-1901), daughter of William Donnely, C.B., L.L.D, of Dublin. They had two daughters and divorced in 1897.[7] Hart was also interested in Elizabethan literature and he edited numerous Shakespeare plays for the Arden Shakespeare and many works by Ben Jonson for Methuen's Standard Library.[8] Publications
