WW just caught him 'as he was going to see Davy [Humphry Davy] make some experiments on galvanism which are odd enough'. WW picked up a copy of Rickman [Thomas Rickman, 'An Attempt to Discriminate the Styles of Architecture in England from the Conquest to the Reformation', 1817] for RJ from Taylor's architectural library in Holborn: 'I think you will find it worth cramming - and for the furtherance of your future theory of the origin of pointed architecture I picked up some views of Peterborough which I found and which will show your favourite Basilica on a large scale'.
