Lord Frederick Spencer Hamilton (13 October 1856 – 11 August 1928) was a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom, the sixth son of James Hamilton, 1st Duke of Abercorn and Lady Louisa Jane Russell.
He was Second Secretary of the Diplomatic Service (1877–1884) and Member of Parliament (MP) for Manchester South West (1885–1886) and North Tyrone (1892–1895). Lord Frederick also wrote the books Here, There and Everywhere, The Days Before Yesterday and Vanished Pomps of Yesterday which was first published in 1920 by Hodder and Stoughton Ltd, London. These give vivid accounts of his life in the diplomatic service.
While serving as aide-de-camp to Lord Lansdowne, then Governor-General of Canada, in Ottawa, Lord Frederick was the first person to introduce skiing to Canada.[1]
From 1896 to 1900, he was editor of the Pall Mall Magazine.[2] He never married and died without children.
