W. H. (William Henry) McCormick

Project Gutenberg and the Library of Congress identify W. H. McCormick as William Henry McCormick, born in 1884 and died in 1952. The work most clearly connected to him in major public catalogs is Electricity, originally published in New York by Frederick A. Stokes Company in 1915.

That book presents electricity in a broad, accessible way, moving from early ideas about lightning and static effects into the practical devices and discoveries that shaped modern life. Its survival in public-domain collections suggests that McCormick wrote for curious general readers rather than only for specialists.

Beyond those catalog records, reliable biographical information on him is scarce in the sources I could confirm here. Because of that, the clearest picture of McCormick comes through his writing itself: a patient explainer of science at a moment when electricity still felt new and full of wonder.
