He was bracketed third in the classical tripos in 1825, won a fellowship at his college in 1827, and three years later carried off the Seatonian See also:prize. At the See also:Union his speeches were only rivalled by those of See also:Macaulay and of Charles See also:Austin (1799—1874), who subsequently made a great reputation at the See also:parliamentary See also:bar. The See also:character of Praed during his university See also:life is described by Bulwer See also:Lytton in the first See also:volume of his Life. He began to study law, and in 1829 was called to the bar at the See also:Middle See also:Temple. He went the See also:Norfolk See also:circuit, where his prospects of See also:advancement were See also:bright, but the See also:bias of his feelings inclined him towards politics, and after a See also:year or two he devoted himself entirely to See also:political life. Whilst at See also:Cam-See also:bridge he leaned to Whiggism, and even to the autumn of 1829 his feelings were See also:bent towards the same See also:side, but during the agitation for parliamentary reform his opinions changed, and when he was returned to See also:parliament for St Germans (Dec. 17, 1830) his See also:election was due to the Tory party.

Praed sat for Great See also:Yarmouth from 1835 to 1837, and was secretary to the See also:Board of See also:Control during See also:Sir See also:Robert See also:Peel's See also:short See also:administration. He sat for See also:Aylesbury from 1837 until his See also:death. During the progress of the Reform See also:Bill he advocated the creation of three-cornered constituencies, in which each voter should have the See also:power of giving two votes only, and maintained that freeholds within boroughs should confer votes for the boroughs and not for the See also:county. Neither of these suggestions was then adopted, but the former ultimately formed See also:part of the Reform Bill of 1866. He married in 1835 See also:Helen Bogle. He died of See also:consumption at See also:Chester Square, London, on the 15th of July 1839.
Praed's lighter See also:poetry was the perfection of ease. Mr Austin See also:Dobson has justly praised his " sparkling wit, the clearness and finish of his See also:style, and the flexibility and unflagging vivacity of his See also:rhythm " (See also:- WARD
