About the author
Born in 1861 and known as J. H. N. Waring as well as James H. N. Waring, he was an American physician and educator whose career centered in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. He is remembered for combining professional work in medicine with a strong interest in education and social progress.
Sources available during this search describe him as someone who helped introduce trade courses in Baltimore and wrote about the pressures facing African Americans in public life. That makes his books especially interesting today: they come from a writer who was not only observing society, but also trying to improve it through education, public service, and careful argument.
He died in 1923. A suitable portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources reviewed here, so no profile image is included.
