About This Item
Red leather binding with all over gilt embossed design and title on the spine. All edges gilt. Life of King Henry the Eighth: founded on authentic and original documents, (some of them not before published;) including an historical view of his reign: with biographical sketches of Wolsey, More, Erasmus, Cromwell, Cranmer, and other eminent contemporaries / by Patrick Fraser Tytler.
Patrick Fraser Tytler FRSE FSA(Scot) (30 August 1791 – 24 December 1849) was a Scottish advocate and historian. He was described as the "Episcopalian historian of a Presbyterian country". The son of Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee, he was born in a house on George Street in Edinburgh's New Town. He was named after his paternal uncle, Col Patrick Tytler. He was educated at the Edinburgh High School. He was admitted to the Faculty of Advocates in Edinburgh in 1813; in 1816 he became King's counsel in the Exchequer, and practised as an advocate until 1832. At this time he was living at 36 Melville Street, a large terraced townhouse in Edinburgh's west end. He then 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 24 December 1849. 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. His biography (1859) was written by his friend John William Burgon. Note: the Scottish Academic Press (SAP), the publisher handled via this website grew out of Oliver Boyd, the publisher of Patrick Fraser Tytler's work.
