Patrick Fraser Tytler

Patrick Fraser Tytler FRSE FSA (Scot) (30 August 1791 – 24 December 1849) was a Scottish advocate and historian.

[1] The son of Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee, he was born in a house on George Street in Edinburgh's New Town.

[4] He then moved to London, and it was largely owing to his efforts that a scheme for publishing state papers was carried out.

[5][6] His body was returned to Edinburgh for burial in the family vault, which lies within the sealed south-west section of Greyfriars Kirkyard known as the Covenanter's Prison.

He contributed to Archibald Alison's Travels in France (1815); his first independent essays were papers in Blackwood's Magazine.
