Amid the High Hills
by Sir Hugh Fraser
About the author
Born in 1860, he became a British barrister and later an English High Court judge. Contemporary reference material describes him as an authority on libel, torts, and election law, and several library records confirm that he wrote major legal works including A Compendium of the Law of Torts and The Law of Parliamentary Elections and Election Petitions.
His writing was not limited to law. Catalog and archive records also connect him with literary publications, including Amid the High Hills, showing a quieter side alongside his professional reputation.
He died on July 8, 1927. Although reliable biographical detail available online is fairly brief, the picture that emerges is of a serious legal mind who also found room for reflective, bookish writing.
