University Club - WW is surprised that RJ, 'who has made social economy your study, can help writing and publishing now when all men's mind's are in such a ferment' [the 1832 Reform Bill]: 'I am resolved to possess my soul in place and to leave the people to pull down the social edifice for their amusement which at present they seem disposed to do'.
