 Martin Farquhar Tupper -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
He was the son of Martin Tupper, a doctor, who came of an old Huguenot family.
The commonplace 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 apt and striking expressions.
A genial, warm-hearted man, Tupper's humane instincts prompted him to espouse many reforming movements; he was an early supporter of the Volunteer movement, and did much to promote good relations with America.

MARTIN FARQUHAR TUPPER, reminds us of the obser- vation of Dana, that something resembling poetry is oftentimes borne into instant and turbulent popularity, while a work of genuine character may be lying neglected by all except the poets.
But the tide of time, says the profound essayist, flows on, and the former begins to settle to the bottom, while the latter rises slowly and steadily to the surface, and goes forward, for a spirit is in it.
Tupper; you may enjoy him; but you cannot understand him: the staple of his sentences is not stuff of the understanding.
