Excerpt from Memoirs of Ebenezer Elliott, the Corn Law Rhymer: With Criticisms Upon His Writings On the appearance of the first edition of this work, or that part of it, rather, which is properly mine, I was accused by some of Elliott's friends of doing him an injustice in saying that he never fully appreciated Wordsworth as a poet. But upon mature consideration, I am inclined to stand by that statement. I know well enough that numerous passages from the letters and prose writings of Elliott might be adduced to show that he held Wordsworth in high estimation, and he is credited to this extent in my analysis of his genius and writings. What he did not appreciate, however, was what Wordsworth most valued in the judgment of his readers, namely, the spirituality with which he endeavoured to invest external nature, and the life of man. And this endeavour, which lies at the root of all Wordsworth's writings, Elliott had little or no sympathy with.

Excerpt from The Life, Writings, and Importance of Ebenezer Elliott, the Corn Law Rhymer Viiibecome a true poet. Such titles as The Poet of the Poor, The Bard of Free Trade, The Corn Law Rhymer were bestowed upon him by critics. It was the last title, however, which pleased him most since it was against the Corn Laws primarily that he had launched his most successful attacks after he had singled them out as the underlying cause for the abuses in English politics and society. He thought that once these Ops pressive measures had been abolished other reforms might be brought about more easily. He helped to organize the Sheffield Mechanics' anti-bread-tax Association; when the Reform Bill of 1832 failed to fulfill the hopes of monopoly-opposers like Elliott, he sought to arouse the middle and lower classes to throw off their apathy and protest against the laws that were oppressing them. For six years he fought almost single-handed the battle for legislative reforms, and it was not until he helped to start the anti-corn-law League in 1838, that Elliott felt his work had not been in vain. Once the movement, however, was definitely started Elliott gradually became less militant; he was forced to realize that his strength was failing him. The last few years of his life were spent in retirement at Great Houghton.where he lived upon the interest of the capital.
