Oxford, where he gained a See also:prize for a theological See also:essay, See also:Gladstone being second to him. He was called to the See also:bar at See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn, but never practised. He began a See also:long career of authorship in 1832 with Sacra Poesis, and in 1838 he published Geraldine, and other Poems, and for fifty years was fertile in producing both See also:verse and See also:prose; but his name is indissolubly connected with his long See also:series of didactic moralisings in See also:blank verse, the Proverbial Philosophy (1838-1867), which for about twenty-five years enjoyed an extraordinary popularity that has ever since been the cause of persistent See also:satire. The first See also:part was, however, a See also:comparative failure, and N. P. See also:Willis, the See also:American author, took it to be a forgotten See also:work of the 17th See also:century. The See also:commonplace See also:character of Tupper's reflections is indubitable, and his blank verse is only prose cut up into suitable lengths; but the Proverbial Philosophy was full of a perfectly genuine moral and religious feeling, and contained many See also:apt and striking expressions. By these qualities it appealed to a large and uncritical See also:section of the public. A genial, warm-hearted See also:man, Tupper's humane instincts prompted him to espouse many reforming movements; he was an See also:early supporter of the Volunteer See also:movement, and did much to promote See also:good relations with See also:America. He was also a See also:mechanical inventor in a small way. In 1886 he published My See also:Life as an Author; and on the 29th of See also:November 1889 he died at See also:Albury, See also:Surrey.
