Note 174 — Chapter VI
Reading edition
These occasionally took the form of lampoons in verse, such as the following:—
The Derivation of Chancellor "The Chancellor, so says Lord Coke, His title from Cancello took; And ev'ry cause before him tried It was his duty to decide. Lord Eldon, hesitating ever, Takes it from Chanceler, to waver, And thinks, as this may bear him out, His bounden duty is to doubt." Pryme's "Recollections," p. 111.
