About the author
Born in Southampton in 1873, he was educated at Taunton's School and Hartley University College before building a career as a civil engineer. He worked in Britain and later in Mexico, where he became closely connected with major public-works and power projects.
Alongside that engineering career, he developed a lasting reputation as a historian of Mexico. He became especially known for his studies of Englishmen in colonial Mexico and for his research on the Mexican Inquisition, drawing on archival sources with unusual care and persistence.
His historical papers and collections were important enough to be preserved in major research institutions, and his writings remain of interest to readers studying Mexico's colonial past. He died in 1951, remembered as a rare figure who moved comfortably between technical work and original historical scholarship.
