Oliver Goldsmith was an Anglo-Irish poet, novelist, playwright and writer of the eighteenth century, whose works include a natural history, A History of the Earth, and Animated Nature (Wikipedia).

From Point Isabel in January 1864, James wrote that if John and Durlyn were there “they could see such singular specimens of sea birds as Goldsmith, in his animated nature, never dreamed of”, with “Cranes, Gramants, Pelicans and up in the Lagoons, Duck and Teal” (James, January 18, 1864).
