Ebenezer Jones (20 January 1820 – 1860) wrote a good deal of poetry of very unequal merit, but at his best shows a true poetic vein.
He assisted his friend W. J. Linton with political journalism, and worked for the radical publishers John Cleave and Henry Hetherington.
[1] Jones also wrote a short book entitled The Land Monopoly: The Suffering and Demoralization Caused by It; and the Justice and Expediency of its Abolition, published in 1849.
William Bell Scott agreed, and in 1878 Richard Herne Shepherd wrote a brief account of Ebenezer Jones.
There were biographical papers in the Athenæum of September and October 1878, by Theodore Watts; and in 1879 Shepherd published a nearly complete edition of Studies of Sensation and Event (with author's corrections), additional pieces, a memoir by Ebenezer's brother Sumner, and reminiscences by Linton.
A proposed second volume, containing prose writings and additional poems, preserved by his friend Horace Harral (1817–1905), never appeared.
