“Here are the Cornlaw Rhymes!”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. VI. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1988.

Fuller names "the Cornlaw Rhymes" explicitly, referring to Ebenezer Elliott's protest poetry against the Corn Laws that kept bread prices high for the poor, as Hudspeth identified.
