Frederick Boyle (1841–1914) was an English author, journalist, barrister, and orchid fancier. LifeBorn in Stoke-on-Trent, Boyle was a nephew of Joseph Meyer. He matriculated in 1859 as an undergraduate at Brasenose College, Oxford,[1] and was called to the bar in 1866.[2] In 1863, he went to Sarawak with his brother: this visit provided material for a book,[3] and chapters in several other volumes of travel accounts from Asia, South Africa, and Central and South America.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] He also published a number of novels.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and a variety of articles in journals [21][22][23][24][25][26][27]He described himself as a barrister and journalist in census records from 1871 to 1901; in 1911 he just did 'literary work'. He was a newspaper correspondent in the Russo-Turkish war,[28] and was a regular contributor to the Daily Telegraph, the Pall Mall Gazette and periodicals such as All the Year Round, Blackwood's, Cornhill, The Illustrated London News, Temple Bar, The New Review, and The Nineteenth Century. He collaborated with Ashmore Russan on three titles serialised in the Boy's Own Paper and later published as books.[29][30][31] In later life he wrote a number of books about orchids, which he kept as a hobby.[32][33][34] He committed suicide in Bayswater Road, London, April, 1914, when 'much depressed'.[35] References1. ^Alumni Oxonienses: the Members of the University of Oxford, 1715-1886/Boyle, Frederick 2. ^Men-at-the-Bar/Boyle, Frederick 3. ^[https://archive.org/details/adventuresamongd00boyl Adventures among the Dyaks of Borneo (1865)] 4. ^A ride across a continent: a personal narrative of wanderings through Nicaragua and Costa Rica (1868) 5. ^To the Cape for diamonds (1873) 6. ^Through Fanteeland to Coomassie: a diary of the Ashantee expedition (1874) 7. ^Camp Notes (1874) 8. ^The Savage Life (1876) 9. ^Chronicles of No-man's land (1880) 10. ^Legends of my bungalow (1882) 11. ^Camp Notes (2nd ed., 1882) 12. ^[https://archive.org/details/onborderland00boylgoog On the borderland (1884)] 13. ^From the Frontier (1894) 14. ^Fools of Fortune, 1877 15. ^The Golden Prime, 1882 16. ^A Good Hater, 1885 17. ^An English Vendetta, 1887 18. ^Her Evil Genius, 1887 (there was an argument with Wilkie Collins about the title) 19. ^The Treasure of Thorburns, 1892 20. ^The Prophet John.
