Wrote articles for The Times: in Crabb Robinson's Diary (1292, for the year 1809) there appears the following appreciation: ‘the writer of the great leaders–the flash articles which made a noise–was Peter Fraser....He used to sit in Walter's parlour and write his articles after dinner. He was never made known as Editor or writer, and would probably have thought it a degradation: but he was prime adviser and friend.’ Left his large collection of chronicles, histories and memoirs in English, French and Italian, and a bust of himself to the College Library. Died Oct. 12, 1852. (Peile, II. 329.)
