About the author
Published records for this author are a little thin, but library catalogs and digitized editions identify Hamil Grant as the author of several nonfiction books from the 1910s and early 1920s. Those include Spies and Secret Service (1915), Two Sides of the Atlantic (1917), and The Soul of Napoleon (1921).
His books point to a writer drawn to international affairs and vivid historical personalities. Spies and Secret Service explores the history of espionage, while Two Sides of the Atlantic presents itself as the work of an "Anglo-American newspaperman," suggesting a journalistic background or outlook.
There is some uncertainty around the birth year in online records. While the book record you supplied says 1892, multiple library and archive listings for these works identify him as "Hamil Grant, 1862-." Because the available biographical details are limited, it is safest to say that he was an early 20th-century nonfiction author whose work focused on history, politics, and international intrigue.
