Frederick Locker-Lampson (1821-1895) was an English bibliophile and poet. Born Frederick Locker, he merged his surname with that of his second wife, Hannah Jane Lampson, in 1885. He was active in literary circles, a popular host, and acquainted with many noted authors of the time including Thomas Carlyle, Charles Dickens, Leigh Hunt, and others, as well as the illustrators Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway.
The Frederick Locker Letters consists of eleven letters from the British poet. Most are to the Irish statesman and author, John Wilson Croker. Among other things Locker-Lampson mentions some edits which he made to one of Croker's manuscripts.
