Philip, an English littérateur of the eighteenth century. He was educated at Oxford, where he formed the acquaintance and enjoyed the intimate friendship of Addison. Some of his Latin poems were considered worthy of a place in the Muse Anglicana. His tragedies of Philotas and the Fall of Saguntum, dedicated respectively to Lord Chesterfield and Sir Robert Walpole, do not exhibit any high literary merit, and are remembered more from their refinement of tone and the extremely amiable character of their author than from any intrinsic value. Frowde died in 1738.
