He was the son of Edward Price of Highgate, North London and his wife Elvina née Mountford.[3] He was educated at Cholmeley School, better known as Highgate School, in Highgate and at University College Hospital, where he graduated M.R.C.S.E. in 1876.[3] He was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1883.[3]
Price elected at the 1892 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for East Norfolk,[4] and held the seat until he retired from Parliament at the 1918 general election.
Price died on 18 April 1926, at age 71, at Sussex Mansions in London.[2]
