" He likewise claimed for himself the honour of having given the first decided impulse to the movement, and by his songs, epigrams and- satires, prepared the way for the reception of the Anti-Corn Law doctrines. He spoke too with great and pardonable pride, upon his posi- tion with respect to the Corn Law Agitation. U I have won my name as the " Rhymer of the Revolution, " he said, " And am prouder of that distinction, than I should be if I were made Poet Laureate of England. " He did not seem ...to be aware that his fame as a poet could not last upon that foundation alone ; or that there was any thing in his poetry of which he might be more justly proud than of these political effusions. He was delighted when his corres- pondents styled him Ebeneezer Elliott, C. L. R. (Corn Law Rhymer), and he had a seal with these initials surmounting his own name, which he was in the habit of using upon his letters. In conversation he was sometimes slow and de- liberate ; condensing his thoughts in as few words as possible, and giving the net result > 134 LIFE, CHARACTER, AND GENIUS, as with a u whip of fire/' without letting one see the " cold process" of his thinking.
