FRASER, SIR WILLIAM AUGUSTUS

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 39 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRASER, SIR WILLIAM AUGUSTUS , Bart. (1826-1898), English politician, author and collector, was born on the loth of February 1826, the son of Sir James John Fraser, 3rd
baronet
 , a colonel of the 7th Hussars, who had served on
Wellington
 's staff at Waterloo. He was educated at
Eton
  and at Christ
Church
 ,
Oxford
 , entered the 1st Life
Guards
  in 1847, but retired with a captain's rank in 1852. He then set about entering
parliament
 , and the ups and downs of his political career were rather remark-able. He was returned for Barnstaple in 1852, but the election was declared void on account of bribery, and the constituency was disfranchised for two years. At the election of 1857 Sir William, who had meantime been defeated at Harwich, was again returned at Barnstaple. He was, however, defeated .in 1859, but was elected in 1863 at Ludlow. This seat he held for only two years, when he was again defeated and did not re-enter
parliament
  until 1874, when he was returned for Kidderminster, a constituency he represented for six years, when he retired. He was a
familiar
  figure at the Carlton Club, always ready with a copious collection of anecdotes of
Wellington
 , Disraeli and
Napoleon
  III. He died on the 17th of August 1898. He was an assiduous collector of
relics
 ; and his library was sold for some 20,000. His own books comprise Words on Wellington (1889), Disraeli and his Day (1891), Hic et Ubique (1893),
Napoleon
  III. (1896) and the Waterloo Ball (1897).
