Educated at the University of Edinburgh, Warren initially studied medicine, but changed to the study of law and became a barrister in 1828. In 1830, he published a series in Blackwood's Magazine entitled Passages From the Diary of a Late Physician, which was very popular and continued until 1837. In 1839, he followed with Ten Thousand a Year, which was equally popular. In 1852, he became the Recorder of Hull and from 1856 to 1859, he was an MP for Midhurst in the House of Commons. He published a number of works during the 1850's, but none were as successful as his earlier endeavors. His other works include Introduction to Law Studies (1835), Extracts From Blackstone (1837), Now and Then (1847), The Lily and the Bee, A Squib on the Crystal Palace (1851), Manual of Parliamentary Law (1852), The Intellectual and Moral Development of the Age (1853) and The Experiences of a Barrister and Confessions of an Attorney (1854). |
