When this article is updated perhaps a "References in" section could be added with "The Mask of Anarchy" listed. I note that there a reference pointing the other way - i.e. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mask_of_Anarchy

The article employs tone and language that indicate that it was largely lifted from a biographical account of the subject written in the nineteenth or early twentieth century. Whether or not it is lifted wholesale from an earlier bio or original, the tone should be updated to reflect more modern usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.96.229 (talk) 02:46, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Eldon was sometimes cited as one who supported the value of law as preventing anarchy, and opposing shortcuts through the law for some good end. Some discussion of this aspect of his thought would improve the article. Example: The short story “The Metal Box” in the 1929 collection “The Silent Witness” by Melville Davisson Post, has this thought: “It was better to look hardship in the face than to break down the rules of law - he saw that as clearly as Lord Eldon saw it.” 2A00:23C5:E097:5D00:A947:E937:889D:17CA (talk) 07:25, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
