Frederic Boase (1843–1916) was an English librarian and biographer. He was trained for the law, but did not make a career of it. He was admitted a solicitor on 31 January 1867, and went into practice at Exmouth. In 1877 he was appointed as librarian to the Incorporated Law Society, retiring in September 1903.〔Ralph Thomas, ''English Biographers'', pp. 88–9 (1919), in ''Notes and Queries'', 12th Series vol. 5, (archive.org ).〕〔Waller M.
