"The author of this poem was doubtless the brother of the lady in question, and was an attorney, celebrated for his satirical vein, being the designer of Gilray's political caricatures. For these services he received a pension from the Tory administration of £200 a year. "He was the author of a beautiful Poem called Elijah's Mantle, which was the subject of a caricature by Gilray." "The prints are libellous, particularly that of the Committee facing the last page, they are evidence of his connection with Gilray. I have since caused enquiry to be made of Roworth, the printer, who is still living (1848), and he confirms my supposition that Sayer was the auther. I believe he was a Norfolk man, and a member of Staple Inn. "The bock is said to be privately printed, and very scarce.' .”—William J. Thoms, late Editor of Notes and Queries.
