About the author
Little biographical information about this author is readily available in the sources I could confirm, but published records consistently identify him as F. H. (Frank Henley) Leeds.
He is known for co-authoring Acetylene, the Principles of Its Generation and Use with W. J. Atkinson Butterfield. Contemporary and library records describe the book as a practical handbook on the production, purification, and treatment of acetylene for light, heat, and power, showing that his writing was grounded in applied industrial science.
The book was published in the early 1900s and was later preserved by Project Gutenberg and other library collections, which suggests it remained useful as a historical technical reference. Beyond that contribution, I couldn't verify further personal details with confidence, so this overview stays focused on the work that can be confirmed.
