George Grote, George Norman, and Charles Cameron : poetry

From the diary kept by George Grote for his fiancee, Harriet Lewin (autumn 1818): 'Dined at 1/2 past 5; [Charles] Cameron with me [...] Between 7 and 8 I locked up [family banking house] and we drank tea. We then read some of Ricardo's "Political Economy" until 1/2 past 10. 'Rose at 6. Read some of A. Smith on Wages, and also that part of Ricardo that we had read the night before over again [...] At 10 Charles Cameron came to me, and we walked down to Bromley Common [...] G. Norman there by himself. Had a very pleasant dinner and evening. Read some poetry aloud in the evening. Went to bed about 1/2 past 11.'
