Patrick Fraser Tytler

Patrick Fraser Tytler, by Margaret Sarah Carpenter, exhibited 1845

Patrick Fraser Tytler (30 August 1791 – 14 December 1849) was a Scottish historian.

Contents

Life

The son of Lord Woodhouselee, he was born in Edinburgh, where he attended the Royal High School. He was called to the bar in 1813; in 1816 he became King's counsel in the Exchequer, and practised as an advocate until 1832. He moved to London, and it was largely owing to his efforts that a scheme for publishing state papers was carried out. Tytler was one of the founders of the Bannatyne Club and of the English Historical Society. He died at Great Malvern on 14 December 1849. His biography (1859) was written by his friend John William Burgon.

Tytler married Anastasia Jessey, daughter of Thomson Bonar, Esq., (1780–1828) of Campden, Kent, by his spouse Anastasia Jessey, daughter of Matthew Guthrie of Halkerton, M.D.

Works

Tytler is most noted for his literary output. He contributed to Allison's Travels in France (1815); his first independent essays were papers in Blackwood's Magazine. His great work, the History of Scotland (1828–1843) covered the period between 1249 and 1603.

His other works include:

  • contributions to Thomson's Select Melodies of Scotland (1824)
  • Life of James Crichton of Cluny, commonly called the Admirable Crichton (1819; 2nd ed., 1823)
  • a Memoir of Sir Thomas Craig of Riccarton (1823)
  • an Essay on the Revival of Greek Literature in Italy, and a Life of John Wickliff, published anonymously (1826)
  • Lives of Scottish Worthies, for Murray's Family Library (1831–1833)
  • Historical View of the Progress of Discovery in America (1832)
  • Life of Sir Walter Raleigh (1833)
  • Life of Henry VIII. (1837)
  • England under the Reigns of Edward VI. and Mary, from original letters (1839)
  • Notes on the Darnley Jewel (1843)
