Patrick Fraser Tytler FRSE FSA(Scot) (30 August 1791 – 14 December 1849) was a Scottish advocate and historian. ==Life== The son of Alexander Fraser Tytler Lord Woodhouselee, he was born in Edinburgh, where he attended the Royal 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 fashionable west end.〔http://digital.nls.uk/directories/browse/pageturner.cfm?id=83401923&mode=transcription〕 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.〔http://www.royalsoced.org.uk/cms/files/fellows/biographical_index/fells_indexp2.pdf〕 His biography (1859) was written by his friend John William Burgon. 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.〔http://www.royalsoced.org.uk/cms/files/fellows/biographical_index/fells_indexp2.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patrick Fraser Tytler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
