St James's Place - JWL has tried to make some alterations (to meet the ideas of the Syndicate) to his work on comets but has found it got worse ['On the Determination of the Distance of a Comet from the Earth, and the Elements of its Orbit', 1832]: 'I am so much taken up in the city and in one way or another that I am only able to attend to these things when I can snatch half an hour or so'. JWL is disappointed with the attitude of the University Syndicate.
