About the author
Active in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Hector Tyndale Fenton was a Philadelphia attorney who also wrote and compiled substantial reference works. Library records link him to American Politics (Non-Partisan) from the Beginning to Date, a wide-ranging survey of U.S. political parties, platforms, speeches, and election history prepared with Thomas V. Cooper.
Fenton also wrote The Law of Patents for Designs (1889), a legal treatise focused on U.S. design-patent statutes and court decisions. That combination of subjects suggests a writer comfortable moving between public affairs and technical law, with a practical interest in explaining complicated systems clearly.
Biographical details are sparse in the sources I could confirm, but records place his life between 1850 and 1924 and connect him closely with Philadelphia. No suitable verified portrait image was confirmed from the sources I checked.
