Excerpt from Reform: Look Before You Leap Happily or unhappily, we are to have Reform; and the only thing that remains for our considera tion is, what Reform we shall have. For as wide as the natural sense of the word is the latitude of interpretation allowed by the vagueness of the pledges given in Parliament and on the hustings;-all that is agreed or promised is that there shall be some alteration in the existing system of representation what the form, tendency, and direction of such alteration shall be is quite another matter, upon which there is room for the widest diversity of action and opinion, and on which no general agreement exists, or is likely to exist.
