Frederic Harrison (18 October 1831 – 14 January 1923) was a British jurist and historian.[1] A leading figure in the English Positivist movement and a disciple of Auguste Comte, he was known for his wide-ranging contributions to political philosophy, legal theory, and public discourse. Harrison was a prolific writer and lecturer whose works spanned history, law, religion, literature, and international affairs. He played a prominent role in Victorian intellectual life, contributing regularly to influential periodicals such as The Fortnightly Review, and was noted for his radical political stance in support of trade union rights, universal education, and democratic reform.
