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'. WW thinks he detects an article by RJ in the British Magazine - 'which I think excellent - If the church conservatives have the sense to take hold of it there is good foundation there for a popular cry against the innovators - Here are the rascals who want to take the support of the clergy off the shoulders of the land lords and to throw it on those of the people'.
