Warren, Samuel (1807–77), studied medicine and became successively barrister, recorder of Hull, MP for Midhurst, and master of lunacy. From early youth he aimed for literary fame. His Passages from the Diary of a Late Physician (1832–8) provoked criticism from the Lancet for revealing professional secrets. Warren also wrote the sensationally popular Ten Thousand a Year (1840–1), a story of greed and imposture concerning Mr Titlebat Titmouse, a draper's assistant who inherits a vast fortune by way of documents forged by the lawyers Quirk, Gammon, and Snap.
