About the author
Hugh Garner Bennett was a British technical author whose known books include The Manufacture of Leather and Animal Proteins. Library and catalog records connect his name with those works, and surviving editions show that he wrote about leather production, tanning, and related industrial materials.
A short biographical note in Grace's Guide describes him as Hugh Garner Bennett, M.Sc., and says he graduated from the University of Leeds. The same source says he worked as a chief chemist and works manager for R. Hodgson and Sons from 1909 to 1921, and later as a research chemist and technical adviser to Forestal Land Co. in London from 1922 to 1931.
His writing appears to have been aimed at readers who needed clear technical knowledge they could apply in industry. Even from the titles alone, his work suggests a strong interest in the chemistry, processes, and materials behind leather making and other animal-derived products.
