Значение слова ELLIOT в Литературной энциклопедии

1) MISS JEAN (1727-1805).-Poetess, _dau._ of Sir Gilbert Elliot of Minto, has a small niche in literature as the authoress of the beautiful ballad, _The Flowers of the Forest_, beginning, "I've heard the lilting at our yowe-milking." Another ballad with the same title beginning, "I've seen the smiling of fortune beguiling" was written by Alicia Rutherford, afterwards Mrs. Cockburn. 2) ELLIOT, EBENEZER (1781-1849).-Poet, _b._ at Masborough, Yorkshire, in his youth worked in an iron-foundry, and in 1821 took up the same business on his own account with success. He is best known by his poems on behalf of the poor and oppressed, and especially for his denunciations of the Corn Laws, which gained for him the title of the Corn Law Rhymer. Though now little read, he had considerable poetic gift. His principal poems are _Corn Law Rhymes_ (1831), _The Ranter_, and _The Village Patriarch_ (1829).
