Samuel Warren
Samuel Warren (1807–1877) was an English barrister, novelist, and legal writer, known for his contributions to both fiction and law. He is best remembered for his novel "Ten Thousand a-Year" (1839), a satirical work about legal and political life, which became highly popular in Victorian England. Warren also authored "Passages from the Diary of a Late Physician" (1832–1837), a collection of stories based on his medical knowledge before he shifted to law. In addition to his literary work, he became Queen's Counsel and wrote several legal texts, including "A Popular and Practical Introduction to Law Studies" (1835).
