Introduction
Frederick Sylvester North Douglas was born on 8 February 1791 and died on 21 October 1819. He was an English actuary and politician, known for his familial connections and brief political career.
He was the eldest son of Sylvester Douglas, 1st Baron Glenbervie, and Lady Catherine Anne North. Lady Catherine was the daughter of Frederick North, who was later known as the 2nd Earl of Guilford and served as Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Douglas received his education at Westminster School and continued his studies at Christ Church, Oxford. He also attended Lincoln's Inn. Between 1810 and 1812, he undertook a grand tour of Europe. Upon his return, he authored a work titled "An Essay on Certain Points of Resemblance Between the Ancient and Modern Greeks."
In the political arena, Douglas was elected as the Member of Parliament for Banbury during the 1812 general election. He held this position until his death in 1819. During his career, he was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1817.
His notable publication is his 1813 essay, which was later published in a second edition. His contributions to parliamentary debates are documented in the Hansard records from 1803 to 2005, and related media are available through Wikimedia Commons.
