Frederick Martin (editor)

Frederick Martin (1830–1883) was a British writer of Swiss-German background, known as the editor of The Statesman's Year Book.

[1] In 1879 Lord Beaconsfield, who found The Statesman's Year-Book useful, awarded Martin a pension of £100 a year.

He died on 27 January 1883 at his house in Lady Margaret Road, in north-west London, leaving a widow and family.

[1] Martin started a short-lived biographical magazine called The Statesman, in which he began an account of Carlyle's early life.

He continued to supervise it till December 1882, when he was compelled by ill-health to give it up, and it was taken over by John Scott Keltie.
