JOHN STUART MILL AND HIS FATHER JAMES MILL

James Mill and his son John Stuart Mill are two of the most eminent figures in the intellectual life of the 19th century.

The utilitarian philosopher James Mill [1773-1836] is chiefly remembered to-day as the disciple of Jeremy Bentham. From humble beginnings in Scotland he came to London and supported himself and his family writing for the periodicals. In 1808 he published Commerce Defended, a rare pamphlet, which led to his friendship with David Ricardo. In 1812 he published anonymously Schools for all, a review of the arguments of Dr. Herbert Marsh and others in opposition to the Lancastrian plans for educating the poor. His friends in London, from an early period, included the South American patriot General Miranda, Jeremy Bentham, the economist David Ricardo, George Grote, Joseph Hume, the Quaker and philanthropist William Allen and the radical tailor Francis Place. Of all these, Bentham was his most intimate friend. His friendship with Jeremy Bentham changed his life, staying at Bentham’s house at Ford Abbey in Somerset and becoming in Leslie Stephens words ‘Bentham’s bodyguard’. With the publication of his History of India in 1817 James Mill became more prosperous. He was the first British historian to give a comprehensive treatment to Indian history as a whole. This was to lead to employment at the India Office which was to last for the remainder of his life. James Mill’s contributions of articles to the Encyclopaedia Britannica and in particular that on Government was described by his son as a “masterpiece of political wisdom”; by the Philosophical Radicals it became a sort of authorized Benthamite primer on political theory. He was a founder member of the Political Economy Club in 1820, drafting the rules and published the Elements of Political Economy, an exposition of David Ricardo’s doctrine and described by Palgrave as his masterpiece; it had evolved from his conversations with his young son John Stuart on walks. In 1829 his work Analysis of the Phenomena of the Human Mind was published and in 1835 A Fragment on Mackintosh described by Leslie Stephens as ‘one of the most characteristic expressions of utilitarian morals’.

John Stuart Mill’s [1806-1873] upbringing was not conventional. Both his father and Bentham considered an academic education greatly overrated and were convinced that they had in their hands the raw material for the perfect man – a tabula rasa – a blank sheet on which the perfect character could be drawn. His own account of the regime to educate him can be found in his Autobiography and amazes all who read it. This was completed by the age of fourteen and in 1820 he spent two years with the Bentham family in France and wrote of this period “the greatest, perhaps, of the many advantages which I owed to this episode in my education, was that of having breathed for a whole year, the free and genial atmosphere of Continental life...The chief fruit which I carried away from the society I saw, was a strong and permanent interest in Continental Liberalism, of which I ever afterwards kept myself au courant, as much as of English politics..” From this period he became a Francophile, speaking and writing French fluently, visiting many times on holiday, ‘botanising’ in the Vaucluse and eventually having a second home there and being buried in Avignon. “Mill would shortly become one of England’s leading, and for a while, foremost – commentators on French affairs. Politically, France would be his benchmark and inspiration, the main laboratory for the great ‘democratic experiment’, until the 1850’s when the United States attracted more attention” Reeves. He joined the Examiner’s Office in the East India Company as a clerk in 1823, a vacancy being available as a result of his fathers’ promotion. Between 1822 and 1830 he published many letters and articles in the periodicals such as the Morning Chronicle, the Lancet, Black Dwarf, the Westminster Review, and the Parliamentary Review, on economics and political economy, free speech, law and law reform, absenteeism, the Game Laws; they included reviews of Tooke’s High and Low Prices, Malthus’s Measure of

Value, William Blake’s Cash Payments, Mignet’s History of the French Revolution and Whateley’s Elements of Logic. This was to continue throughout his life. His greatest achievement to date was his work on the Bentham manuscript The Rationale of Judicial Evidence, which was published in 1827 in five volumes. Mill, at the age of twenty-five, prepared the work for the press; with eight sections in which Mill either augmented or completed Bentham’s narrative; and with numerous notes to the text, signed to distinguish them from Bentham’s notes. It was a massive task, as it required Mill to study all the best authorities past or present on the English law of evidence. ‘It occupied all my leisure for about a year’. He was an early, enthusiastic and profuse contributor to The Westminster Review, founded by Jeremy Bentham in 1824. In 1834 he was offered the complete control of the new London Review [later the London & Westminster Review] by William Molesworth, though the nominal editorship had to lie elsewhere because of Mill’s employment at India House. In 1830 Mill met Harriet Taylor, described as the ‘ambitious dissatisfied wife of an older man’.i They had been introduced by the Unitarian minister William Fox. Mill was to write ‘I formed the friendship, which has been the honour and chief blessing of my existence, as well as the source of a great part of all that I have attempted to do, or hope to effect, for human improvement.’ At the beginning Mill and Harriet made little attempt to conceal their friendship, until they became aware of the gossip it was causing and then, withdrew almost completely from all social contacts. Besides all his articles and reviews, he produced three books before his marriage to Harriet in 1851; A System of Logic 1843, Essays on some unsettled questions on political economy 1844, and Principles of Political Economy 1848. The last was described by Mill in his manuscript list of his publications as ‘a joint production with my wife’ adding in his Autobiography that ‘The Political Economy was far more rapidly executed than the Logic, or indeed than anything of importance which I had previously written. It was commenced in the autumn of 1845, and was ready for the press before the end of 1847.’ Mill and Harriet were married in 1851. She died tragically in Avignon in 1858. He bought a farmhouse near Avignon near the graveyard where Harriet was buried and was to spend many months of the year there until he died in 1873. After Harriet’s death he immediately planned the publication of On Liberty. He wrote in his Autobiography “The ‘Liberty’ was more directly and literally our joint production than anything else which bears my name, for there was not a sentence of it which was not several times gone through by us together, turned over in many ways, and carefully weeded of any faults, either in thought or expression, that we detected in it.” On Liberty was published in 1859, to be followed by Thoughts on Parliamentary Reform 1859, Considerations on Representative Government 1861, Utilitarianism 1863, An Examination of Sir William Hamilton’s Philosophy 1865, Auguste Comte and Positivism 1865 and Subjection of Women 1869. He continued, at the same time, to write in the periodicals. In 1865 he became a Member of Parliament. He spoke for women’s suffrage and the abolition of capital punishment as well as land tenure reform and many other issues. He attended the House regularly and it was said that the tone of the debates were perceptibly raised by his speeches. He died in Avignon in 1873 and is buried in the churchyard there. He remains one of the greatest figures of the 19th century and his thought and ideas are still relevant, discussed and quoted in the 21st century.

On the abuse of power 1. MILL,JAMES. Autograph letter signed to Josiah Conder. Ford Abbey, August 9 1816 Quarto, 25.0 x 19.8 cm, 2 pages in ink, with some deletions and insertions in the text, integral leaf removed leaving a somewhat irregular margin, docketed at head of first page, preserved in a cloth box. £6000 An important unpublished letter about the abuse of power by government, that such power is destructive and that when it happens it should be taken away. It was the duty of every man to expose abuses or otherwise they would be deprived of their liberty. Written to Josiah Conder [1789-1855], bookseller and author, proprietor and editor of the Eclectic Review between 1814-1837, during which he supported the dissenting interest. Mill is said to have written in the British and Monthly reviews and especially the Eclectic. Details of the present controversy may be found in the Eclectic Review 1816 The letter was written from Ford Abbey. “Jeremy Bentham, having rented Ford Abbey, invited Mill and his family to take up their abode with him. The party must have gone there in July...It is not possible to convey by words an adequate representation of the vast pile in its extensive surroundings...” Bain, pp.129-136 James Mill autograph letters are very rare.

James Mill tells Jeremy Bentham he is to meet Ram Mohun Roy – the Father of modern India 2. MILL,JAMES. Autograph letter signed to Jeremy Bentham. E.India House, Tuesday (May 17th) 1831 Octavo, 11.0 x 18.0 cm, 3 pages in ink + blank, traces of mounting on blank leaf , endorsed in ink on blank leaf by Jeremy Bentham. £4500 Unpublished.Ram Mohun Roy [1772- 1833], Indian religious, social, and educational reformer who challenged traditional Hindu culture and indicated the lines of progress for Indian society under British rule.He is sometimes called the father of modern India.“In 1829 Roy journeyed to England as the unofficial representative of the titular king of Delhi. The King of Delhi granted him the title raja, though it was unrecognized by the British. Roy was well received in England, especially by Unitarians there and by King William IV. Roy died of a fever while in the care of Unitarian friends at Bristol, Eng., where he was buried. “Roy’s importance in modern Indian history rests partly upon the broad scope of his social vision and the striking modernity of his thought. He was a tireless social reformer, yet he also revived interest in the ethical principles of the Vedanta school as a counterpoise to the Western assault on Indian culture. In his textbooks and treatises he contributed to the popularization of the Bengali language, while at the same time he was the first Indian to apply to the Indian environment the fundamental social and political ideas of the French and American revolutions.”Encyc.Britannica.

3. MILL,JOHN STUART. Autograph letter signed to William Cabell Ex[aminer’s] Off[ice] Tuesday [no date circa early 1830’s] Octavo, 17.8 x 11.4 cm, 2 pages. £1500 John Stuart Mill at work in the Office of the Examiner of India Correspondence at the East India Company “In May 1823 my professional occupation and status for the next thirty-five years of my life, were decided by my father’s obtaining for me an appointment from the East India Company, in the office of the Examiner of India Correspondence, immediately under himself. I was appointed in the usual manner, at the bottom of the list of clerks, to rise, at least in the first instance, by seniority; but with the understanding that I should be employed from the beginning in preparing drafts of despatches ... My drafts of course required, for some time, much revision from my immediate superiors, but I soon became well acquainted with the business, and by my father’s instructions and the general growth of my own powers, I was in a few years qualified to be, and practically was, the chief conductor of the correspondence with India in one of the leading departments, that of the Native States”. J.S.Mill, Autobiography pp.81`-82. William Cabell [1786-1853] was at this time Senior Clerk in the Secret and Political Department and Assistant Seacretary at the Board of Control. Recent discovery of Mill’s letters in the archival series in the India Office Library [including several to William Cabell] has greatly enhanced knowledge of his career there and of the East India Company’s operations. The complexity of the workings of the bureaucracy at the office of the Examiner of the India Correspondence within the India Office are described in Marion Filipiuk Additional Letters of John Stuart Mill pp.xxix-xl.

Mill as editor of the London Review 4. MILL,JOHN STUART. Autograph letter signed to Thomas Falconer. I[ndia] H[ouse], Saturday 3d Oct. [1835] Quarto, 23.0 x 18.2 cm, 3 pages + integral address leaf, in ink, trace of mounting but in very good condition, preserved in a green cloth box. £3500 A remarkable autograph letter to the nominal editor of the London Review showing Mill’s editorial work on the third issue of October 1835 (which included Mill’s article A Review of M.de Tocqueville’s work on Democracy in America) and planning articles for later issues. Thomas Falconer [1805-1882], barrister and later judge, though nominally editor was really sub-editor under Mill. He was the brother-in-law of Mill’s close friend J.A.Roebuck. By the New Year 1836 it became apparent that Mill’s assistant Falconer was incompetent and inefficient and Mill was to write to him “we are the laughing stock of everybody who knows us, for our way of doing business” and in April 1837 he was replaced. “One of the projects occasionally talked of between my father and me, and some of the parliamentary and other Radicals who frequented his house, was the foundation of a periodical of philosophic radicalism…In the summer of 1834 Sir William Molesworth, himself a laborious student, and a precise and meta-physical thinker, capable of aiding the cause by his pen as well as by his purse, spontaneously proposed to establish a Review, provided I would consent to be the real, if I could not be the ostensible, editor. …The Review was founded, at first under the title of the London Review, and afterwards under that of the London and Westminster, Molesworth having bought the Westminster…and merged two into one. In the years between 1834 and 1840 the conduct of this Review occupied the greater part of my spare time.” J.S.Mill, Autobiography pp.198- 200.

Four unpublished letters concerning George Armstrong’s proposed paper for the London & Westminster review 1836-1838 Albany Fonblanque [1793-1872], radical journalist and editor-proprietor of the journal Examiner, and correspondent with John Stuart Mill. In 1833 to save Fonblanque and the Examiner from bankruptcy Mill actively helped in raising £1000 to save him. George Armstrong [1791-1857] was a Unitarian minister who over a period had a few papers published in the journals. With the help of Albany Fonblanque [1793-1872] his paper Church and State Fallacies is forwarded to John Stuart Mill for consideration for publication in the London & Westminster Review. It was apparently never published. Fonblanque was to write to Armstrong “I have forwarded your paper to Mr John Mill, and send you his answer. The expression of satisfaction it contains, coming from him, are very strong” Robert Henderson: A Memoir of the late Rev.George Armstrong. 1859 pp.80-81.

Saint Vèran, Avignon le 22 Janvier 1862 Large octavo, 20.5 x 13.0 cm, 3 pages in French in ink. £2000 Gilbert Urbain Guillaumin (1801-1864) was co-founder of the Journal des Economistes in 1842 and was publisher of the French translation from the third edition of Mill’s Principles of Political Economy and Representative Government and Charles Dupont-White (1807-1878) was the French economist who translated Mill’s Representative Government. In this fine letter Mill asks Guillaumin to send copies, now approaching publication, of his Le gouvernement représentif to his Avignon friend and writer on economic and agricultural subjects Auguste Picard and the positive philosopher Célestin de Blignières (1822-1905). Mill reports that he leaves for Greece on January 29th, and to forward to Poste Restant Athens anticipated articles on his book by Emile Littré (1801-1881) and on books of Dupont-White in the Journal des Débats.

Industrial philanthropy in Europe – the cites ouvrières of Mulhouse 7. MILL,JOHN STUART. Autograph letter signed to Pastor Louis Rey of Avignon. Blackheath Park, August 13th 1865 Octavo, 17 x 10.8cm, 3 pages in French in ink, discreet repairs to fold. £3000 Newly discovered letter from John Stuart Mill to Pastor Louis Rey in Avignon, asking for an introduction to MM Dollfus [presumably Jean Dollfus 1800-1887, cotton manufacturer] in Mulhouse to see the work that the philanthropic factory owners had done for the benefit of their workers. In Mulhouse, industrial paternalism took the form of efforts to build housing for workers, known as cites ouvrières, to offer educational opportunities, to organise health services, to administer a variety of pension plans, insurance programmes and savings accounts, and to organise leisure-time activities. In 1866 at a meeting in Mulhouse, Frederick Engel-Dollfus explained the rational behind Mulhousian industrialists’ adoption of paternalist projects in 1866; “The manufacturer owes something more to his workers than a salary; it is equally his obligation to concern himself with their moral and physical condition, and this obligation, which no type of salary can replace, must take precedence over considerations of private interest”. Mill visited Germany in September 1865 but it is not known whether he went to Mulhouse to see the industrial paternalism in action, though it was unquestionably of great interest to him. Pastor Louis Rey [circa 1837-1936] was pastor of the local Protestant church at Saint Vèran, Avignon where John Stuart Mill had bought a house near to where his wife Harriet was buried.

“There was the young Protestant Pastor, Louis Rey, on whose keen and liberal Gallic mind the contradictory features of Mill’s character continued to exert a consuming fascination, to the end of his long life of ninety-nine years. After Mill’s death he helped Helen [Taylor, JSM’s step-daugher] with her legal affairs, and when she left Avignon, he undertook a Power of Attorney for the sale of her house and property. Later, he made two splendid addresses, just before and just after the first world war, in favour of Mill’s statue being erected in the Place Crillon facing the Hôtel de l’Europe” Packe. Louis Rey was present at Mill’s death at Saint Vèran in May 1873, and made a short address at his burial. He was the author of two works on Mill; Le Roman de John Stuart Mill. Paris 1913 and John Stuart Mill en Avignon. Vaison 1921 Mineka records only one short letter to Pastor Rey in 1862 in which Mill sends a contribution to the church funds.

In 1814, during his wedding trip on the continent, he formed lasting friendships with F W H A von Humboldt and other foreign scientists. His researches began in 1812 with Joel Lean, when they performed a series of experiments hoping to improve Watt's engines which were used in Cornish mines. In 1815 Fox began his researches into the internal temperature of the earth, which continued throughout his life. Facilities were provided for this by his lifelong connection with Cornish mines. Fox was the first to prove definitively that heat increased with depth, and that this increase was in diminishing ratio as depth increased. Fox was also interested in magnetic phenomena, especially relating to the earth's magnetism, and constructed a new dipping needle of great sensitivity and accuracy which was later used by Sir James

In it, Mill outlines his reasons for favouring the reformer Edwin Chadwick over the trade unionist Alexander McDonald as the Liberal candidate for Kilmarnock. Chadwick was a founder member of Mill’s London Debating Society and had been acquainted with Mill since 1824.Edward Pleydell-Bouverie, who had been the Liberal member for Kilmarnock for twenty-five years, protested at Mill’s action in recommending Chadwick and publication of Mill’s reply to Bouverie was considered by many to have cost Mill his seat at Westminster. Edmond Beales was closely connected with radical groups active in the campaign for American and European democracy. He stood unsuccessfully as Liberal candidate for Tower Hamlets in 1868, and Mill here discusses his prospects.

In the preface Mill states that the subject attracted his interest as proof of liberality of view on the part of an assembly belonging to a Roman Catholic country. The work was an unsparing display of the vices of the papal system, and an impartial view of the blessings of the Reformation. Mill adds copious notes, embracing quotations from English authors as well as observations of his own. Bain, James Mill. A biography. pp.51-52.

A reply to Spence’s Britain Independent of Commerce 1807. [see a copy below in this Collection]. John Stuart Mill described his father’s book as “the first of his writings which attained any celebrity, and which he prized more as having been his first introduction to the friendship of David Ricardo, the most valued and most intimate friendship of his life." “Chapters VI and VII of Commerce Defended, entitled respectively, "Consumption" and "Of the National Debt," is not confined exclusively to the overproduction fallacy, but is also and even more concerned with the companion fallacy of under consumption. In the opinion of the Editor, it represents one of the most important contributions of the Classical School, and to this day, remains among the most advanced expositions of the theory of saving and capital formation to be found anywhere.” Prof.George Reisman in Mises Daily Jan 2007 Introduction to Mill’s Commerce Defended. “Apart from the not insignificant fact that it was as a result of this pamphlet that Mill made the acquaintance of Ricardo, the work is chiefly of interest for the fact that it contains the first enunciation in English of what was originally known as the Say-Mill Law of Markets. As the title indicates, the pamphlet was an attack on the views of those neo-Physiocratic authors who had argued during the period of Napoleon's economic blockade that agriculture rather than manufacturing and commerce were not the true source of Britain's wealth. Mill did not dispute the fact that the claims of commerce had frequently been pitched too high, but he defended the Smithian view that manufacturing and other profits were a legitimate form of net

Nineteen Review Articles from the Edinburgh Review in two volumes “Most important for us are his articles in the Edinburgh Review, the greater part of which are traceable. They range from 1808 to 1813 [in fact later]. They embrace the leading subjects of his writings in those times – Political Economy, Politics, Jurisprudence, Toleration, Education.

Mill’s earliest review article published in the Edinburgh Review. Brougham, who may have known him at Edinburgh, helped James Mill in obtaining admission to the Review. In this article Mill ‘laments the prevailing ignorance of the doctrines of political economy, and quotes as evidence thereof – ‘the late Orders in Council, respecting the trade of neutrals; the popularity of Mr Spence’s doctrine in regard to commerce; our laws, in fact, respecting trade in general; the speeches which are commonly delivered, the books which are often published, and the conversations which are constantly held’.

He was an admirer of Bentham...In the last years of his stay in London [1808-1810], he was one of Mill’s frequent visitors” This is the second article by Mill on the emancipation of Spanish America [the first article was in January]. “It recounts the entire public career of General Miranda and was no doubt inspired by him. A second article is contained in the July number, where Miranda’s ‘coaching’ is still more apparent; Mill could not of himself quote authorities in the Spanish language.

In this review article Mill writes “It is to be lamented that philosophers have not as yet laid down any very distinct canons for ascertaining the principal stages of civilisation” and concludes “China is very little advanced beyond the infancy of agricultural society...the practical business of Government, through all its organs, is to plunder the people and deceive the sovereign” and the crowning evidence of the low state of the civilisation as a whole is the utterly degraded condition of the women.

“In the October number of the Review appeared one of Mill’s important articles, a review of Bexon’s Code de la Lègislation Pénale. The work itself he disposes of as vague, confused, and vacillating, and substitutes a short abstract of his own doctrines instead; but does not go far into detail. A considerable stir followed the publication of the article, and the irritant was a sentence on Bentham, as being ‘the only author who has attempted this most difficult and most important analysis; and imperfect as his success has necessarily been, we have no hesitation in saying he has done more to elucidate the true grounds of legislative interference than all the jurists who had gone before him’ “ Bain, James Mill pp.103. bound with [MILL,James].

John Stuart Mill prepared abstracts of these lessons from which James Mill was to write this book. “When I returned, [from France in 1820] my father was just finishing for the press his Elements of Political Economy, and he made me perform an exercise on the manuscript, which Mr Bentham practised on all his own writings, making what he called ‘marginal contents’; a short abstract of every paragraph, to enable the writer more easily to judge of, and improve, the order of the ideas, and the general character of the exposition”.

This work deals with associationism, or the belief that even the most complex mental states can be broken down into an array of simpler interacting elements, making it possible to identify those elements and develop laws regarding the effects of combining them. "Mill's Analysis is a book of singular merit, from the terse and lucid exposition of a one-sided point of view. He was greatly influenced by Hobbes, Locke, Hume, and by the French writers, such as Condillac, Helvetius, and Cabanis; but his chief master was Hartley, whose theory of association he applied and extended. The book marks a distinct stage in the development of the empirical school, and many of J.S. Mill's logical and ethical doctrines are evidently suggested by the attempt to solve problems to which his father's answers appeared unsatisfactory" (DNB). "In Analysis of the Phenomena of the Human Mind, Mill tries to show how all mental activity can be explained by the ways in which the sensations obtained through sense receptors, such as ears, eyes and nose, associate with each other in an organized way, and form more complex emotions, ideas and capacities. It is largely an exercise in logical construction rather than a psychological account... The result is what Mill intended to produce: a small set of general principles derived from an examination of the structure of the human mind, a set that we can then use to formulate practical measures for the improvement of human welfare" (Mander & Sell, 790-91

'That in towns, combinations of the people by political unions, may be able to operate irresistibly on the fears of voters'. Ob.12. 'That the Ballot will not prevent intimidation'. Ob.14. 'That the Ballot will not secure independent voting'. Ob.17. 'That the Ballot will favour the telling of lies'. “For most of the radicals, the single most necessary reform was the introduction of the secret ballot...Once the act of voting was protected from intimidation and bribery, the radicals were sure that the forces of democracy would tend naturally towards a liberal, reforming direction. The number of MPs supporting the measure – dubbed the ‘ballot men’ – was seen by the radicals, entirely wrongly as it turned out, as a measure of radical strength in Parliament, and the motion, traditionally moved by Grote, was gaining ground...The momentum towards the secret ballot was lost with the accession of Peel to the premiership in 1841, and would not be passed until 1872 (by which point Mill himself had changed sides on the issue)...” Reeves p.130 John Stuart “Mill ceased to make distinction between Harriet’s [Taylor] mind and his. In little things as well as great, he followed where she led....He who, as a loyal Radical, had been a protagonist of the secret Ballot, became in the Representative Government its chief opponent.” Packe p.370.

BOOKS FROM JOHN STUART MILL’S LIBRARY John Stuart Mill died in May 1873 at Avignon, where for the preceding fifteen years he had spent much of his time in the house (the Hermitage de Monloisier) he had bought in 1858 in the suburb of St Véran to be near his wife Harriet’s grave. It was not until 1905, after his step-daughter and sole heir Helen Taylor left the house, and returned to England with some manuscripts, papers and boxes of correspondence, that a considerable part of Mill’s Library and some of his papers were disposed of at a sale held at Avignon between May 21st and 28th 1905.

Third edition. John Stuart Mill’s copy from his library at St Véran, Avignon. First published in 1865, each edition of this book was carefully revised and embellished by Mill with footnotes dealing with objections bestowed upon the previous edition. By December 1866 Mill had completed three quarters of the revision, writing to George Grote from Avignon “some new matter I have inserted will, I think, add to the intrinsic value of the book”. The work contains Mill’s most forthright exposition of phenomenalism which faces the ultimate metaphysical difficulties of every question touched in Mill’s Logic. It is considered by some to be his best book, though Packe, his biographer, wrote that it bore a striking a resemblance in many ways to his father’s Fragment on Mackintosh.

BENTHAM’S RATIONALE OF JUDICIAL EVIDENCE, EDITED BY J.S.MILL

“About the end of 1824, or beginning of 1825, Mr Bentham, having lately got back his papers on Evidence from M.Dumont (whose Traité des Preuves Judiciaires, grounded on them, was then first completed and published) resolved to have them printed in the original, and bethought himself of me as capable of preparing them for the press…I gladly undertook this task, and it occupied nearly all my leisure for about a year, exclusive of the time afterwards spent in seeing the five large volumes through the press. Mr Bentham had begun this treatise three times, at considerable intervals, each time in a different manner, and each time without reference to the preceding: two of the three times he had gone over nearly the whole subject. These three masses of manuscript it was my business to condense into a single treatise; adopting the one last written as the groundwork, and incorporating with it as much of the two others as it had not completely superseded…It was further Mr Bentham’s particular desire that I should, from myself, endeavour to supply any lacunae which he had left; and at his instance I read, for this purpose, the most authoritative treatises on the English Law of Evidence, and commented on a few of the objectionable points of the English rules, which had escaped Bentham’s notice. I also replied to the objections which had been made to some of his doctrines by reviewers of Dumont’s book, and added a few supplementary remarks on some of the more abstract parts of the subject, such as the theory of improbability and impossibility. The controversial part of these editorial additions was written in a more assuming tone than became one so young and inexperienced as I was: but indeed I had never contemplated coming forward in my own person…My name as editor was put to the book after it was printed, at Mr Bentham’s positive desire, which I in vain attempted him to forego…The ‘Rationale of Judicial Evidence’ is one of the richest in matter of all Bentham’s productions…it comprises the most elaborate exposure of the vices and defects of English law…” Mill, Autobiograpy, pp.114-116.

REVIEW OF M.DE TOCQUEVILLE’S DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA “M.de Tocqueville’s ‘Democracy in America’…fell into my hands immediately after its first appearance. In that remarkable work, the excellences of democracy were pointed out in a more conclusive, because a more specific manner than I had ever known them to be, even by the most enthusiastic democrats; while the specific dangers which beset democracy, considered as the government of the numerical majority, were brought into equally strong light, and subjected to a masterly analysis, not as reasons for resisting what the author considered as an inevitable result of human progress, but as indications of the weak points of popular government, the defences by which it needs to be guarded, and the correctives which must be added to it in order that while full play is given to its beneficial tendencies, those which are of a different nature

I was now well prepared for speculations of this character, and from this time onward my own thoughts moved more and more in the same channel, though the consequent modifications in my practical political creed were spread over many years, as would be shown by comparing my first review of ‘Democracy in America’ written and published in 1835, with the one in 1840 (reprinted in the ‘Dissertations’), and this last, with the ‘Considerations on Representative Government’. “ J S Mill, Autobiography pp.191-192 “I have nearly finished a review if your book [for the] L.R.” Mill to de Tocqueville, September 1835 Mineka, The Earlier Letters no.142 “Comme il se peut très bien, par la negligence des libraries, que vous n’ayez point encore reçu l’examplaire qui vous était destine du London Review, je vous en envoie un autre, accompagné d’un examplaire de mon aricle sur la ‘Democratie en Amérique’ que je soumets à votre bien-veillante critique, en désirant vivement de votre amitié la communication de toutes les observations qui pourront naître dans votre esprit des doutes que j’ai exprimés sur une petite partie seulement de vos conclusions” Mill to de Tocqueville, 19th November 1835.

Originally published in the third number of the London Review, a periodical in effect edited by John Stuart Mill. here it is separately published in New York by the active and astute publisher of new and important texts for American audiences, Theodore Foster. In the ‘advertisement’ preceding the review, Foster notes “that the work of M.de Tocqueville upon American democracy has been read with so intense an interest throughout all the political as well as social circles in Europe; its character is held to be so philosophical, and so utterly devoid of prejudice, whether party, nation, or form of government; it is so universally lauded by all who have perused it with attention, and the praise has been so generally re-echoed on this side of the water by such as have examined it here, that it has been though advisable to give a reprint of the most elaborate criticism which has been given upon the book, in order to show the estimation in which the American form of government is held by those who have taken due pains to examine it, and have talent enough to appreciate it”.

A SYSTEM OF LOGIC “In the early part of 1830 I had begun to put on paper the ideas on Logic (chiefly on the distinctions among Terms, and the impact of Propositions),,,.Having secured these thoughts from being lost, I pushed on into other parts of the subject, to try whether I could do anything further towards clearing up the theory of logic generally. I grappled at once with the problem of Induction, postponing that of Reasoning, on the ground that it is necessary to obtain premises before we can reason them…In July and August 1838, I had found an interval in which to execute what was still undone of the original draft of the Third Book. In working out the logical theory of those laws of nature which are not laws of Causation, nor corollaries from such laws, I was led to recognise kinds as realities in nature, and not mere distinctions for convenience; a light which I had not obtained when the First Book was written, and which made it necessary for me to modify and enlarge several chapters of that Book. The Book on Language and Classification and the chapter on the Classification of Fallacies, were drafted in the autumn of the same year; the remainder of the work, in the summer and autumn of 1840. From April following, to the end of 1841, my spare time was devoted to a complete re-writing of the book from its commencement….During the re-writing of the Logic, Dr Whewell’s Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences

ESSAYS ON SOME UNSETTLED QUESTIONS OF POLITICAL ECONOMY “In 1830 and 1831 I wrote the five Essays since published under the title of Essays on some Unsettled Questions of Political Economy, almost as they now stand, except that in 1833 I partially rewrote the fifth Essay. They were written with no immediate purpose of publication; and when, some years later, I offered them to a publisher, he declined them. They were only printed in 1844, after the success of the System of Logic.” J.S.Mill, Autobiography p.180. These five essays represent Mill’s earliest thoughts on economics. They had circulated in manuscript among his friends. The essays are entitled I. Of the Laws of Interchange between Nations…II. Of the Influence of Consumption upon Production. III. On the words Productive and Unproductive. IV. Of Profits and interest. V. On the definition of Political Economy…

It was commenced in the autumn of 1845, and was ready for the press before the end of 1847…Published early in 1848, an edition of a thousand copies was sold in less than a year…it was not a book merely of abstract science, but also of application, and treated Political Economy not as a thing by itself, but as a fragment of a greater whole; a branch of Social Philosophy, so interlinked with all other branches, that its conclusions, even in its own province, are only true conditionally, subject to interference and counteraction from causes not directly within its scope: while to the character of a practical guide it has no pretension, apart from other classes of considerations.”. J S Mill, Autobiography pp.234-237. “But although Mill presented himself as a pious disciple of Ricardo, the book is full of genuine theoretical innovations, of which the most lasting was the extension of Ricardo’s doctrine of comparative costs to take account of the effects of reciprocal demand on the terms of trade in international exchange…He qualified Smith’s theory of relative wages by the introduction of the concept of non-competing groups in labour markets, he restated the ‘law of demand and supply’ as an algebraic equation…He was a vigorous advocate of inheritance taxation, peasant proprietorship, profit- sharing, and producers’ and consumers’ cooperatives…he gave a surprisingly sympathetic account of socialist doctrines as embodied in the writings of Owen, Saint-Simon and Charles Fourier…he endorsed protectionism in favour of infant industries, the regulation of hours of work in factories, and compulsory education for children, coupled with a state system of examinations…” Blaug, Great economists before Keynes, p.166.

HARRIET TAYLOR’S ENFRANCHISEMNET OF WOMEN 1851 Harriet Taylor was John Stuart Mill’s companion since 1830 and wife, they were married in April 1851; he wrote of her I formed the friendship, which has been the honour and chief blessing of my existence, as well as the source of a great part of all that I have attempted to do, or hope to effect, for human improvement. J.S.Mill, Autobiography, p.184 At the urging of Mill to finish her feminist essay, Harriet Taylor’s work first appeared, anonymously, in Mill’s former Westminster Review in 1851 [he had sold the periodical ten years previously], in response to the first National Woman's Rights Convention in Worcester, Mass in 1850. Taylor’s essay became a profound validation of the women’s movement in the United States. It provided an intellectual credibility to the concept of women’s right by its very appearance in one of England’s premier journals of political opinion. The essay’s acknowledgment and observations of the American women’s convention in Massachusetts brought the issue of political and legal equality for both men and women to the foreground. Taylor’s piece was broadly applauded by her feminist counterparts in America who embraced her concepts at future conventions. ‘The Enfranchisement of Women, published in The Westminster Review in 1851, is the best candidate for a significant philosophical work authored primarily or even solely by Harriet. Occasioned by a series of feminist conventions in the United States, it makes a case not merely for giving women the ballot but for “equality in all rights, political, civil, and social, with the male citizens of the community”. This essay contains many of the same lines of argument as The Subjection of Women, written by John Stuart Mill and published in 1869, although it expresses a somewhat more radical view of gender roles than the later essay. It maintains that the denial of political rights to women tends to restrict their interests to matters that directly impact the family, with the result that the influence of wives on their husbands tends to diminish the latter's willingness to act from public-spirited motives. Further, it contends that when

HAMISH RILEY-SMITH RARE BOOKS

women do not enjoy equal educational rights with men then wives will impede rather than encourage their husbands' moral and intellectual development. And it insists that competition for jobs will prevent most of the problems that admitting women into the workforce would putatively cause from materializing. All of these points are common to The Enfranchisement and The Subjection. The major point of difference between the two is that while the Subjection rather notoriously suggests that the best arrangement for most married couples will be for the wife to concentrate on the care of the house and the children, a position that John Stuart Mill also takes in an early essay on marriage written for Harriet, the Enfranchisement instead argues for the desirability of married women's working outside the home.’ Dale Miller, Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy.

Buckle regarded John Stuart Mill as the greatest living thinker, but he also learned much from Enlightenment philosophers such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, Adam Smith, and Kant. He was influenced by the work of Auguste Comte, but even more by that of the statistician Adolphe Quételet. From these various thinkers Buckle concluded that all human behaviour is subject to law, and therefore that there can be a science of human society. Many critics in his own day and later thought of Buckle as the English disciple of Comte, but, as Mill declared, Buckle agreed with the founder of positivism on little other than the basic notions of the regularity of human behaviour and the historical progress of civilization from superstition to science. Buckle explicitly rejected Comte's political ideas as ‘monstrously and obviously impracticable’ (St Aubyn, 163). Buckle died of typhoid in Damascus in 1862. Mill actively arranged for his step-daughter Helen Taylor to edit Buckle’s Miscellaneous and Posthumous Works, which were published in 1872. “On February 6 and 7, 1859, he notes in his Journal that he read Mill on Liberty’; and two days afterwards he ' began to arrange notes with a view to reviewing, in Fraser, Mill's new work on Liberty.' With this view he re-read the same writer's System of Logic, Principles of Political Economy, and Thoughts on Parliamentary Reform ; and the writing of his own review occupied him for several hours every day for upward of two months.” Helen Taylor, Biographical Notice p.43 Buckle’s review begins:“If a jury of the greatest European thinkers were to be impannelled, and were directed to declare by their verdict who, among our living writers, had done most for the advance of knowledge, they could hardly hesitate in pronouncing the name of John Stuart Mill.” “Here Buckle praised Mill for his unique combination of profound speculative philosophy and sound practical sense.” Oxford DNB

THOUGHTS ON PARLIAMENTARY REFORM “The political circumstances of the time induced me to complete and publish a pamphlet…part of which had been written some years previously, on the occasion of one of the abortive Reform Bills…Its principal features were, a hostility to the Ballot…and a claim of representation for minorities…I added a third feature, a plurality of votes, to be given, not to property, but to proved superiority of education…It was soon after the publication…that I became acquainted with Mr Hare’s admirable system of Personal Representation…I saw in this great practical and philosophical idea, the greatest improvement of which the system of representative government is susceptible; an improvement which, in the most felicitous manner, exactly meets and cures the grand, and what before seemed the inherent, defect of the representative system; that of giving to a numerical majority all power, instead of only a power proportional to its numbers…Had I met with Mr Hare’s system before the publication of my pamphlet, I should have given an account of it there…” J S Mill Autobiography, pp.256-260.

CONSIDERATIONS ON REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT “The work of the years 1860 and 1861 consisted of two treatises, only one of which was intended for immediate publication. This was Considerations on Representative Government, a connected exposition of what, by the thoughts of many years, I had come to regard as the best form of popular constitution. Along with as much of the general theory of government as is necessary to support this particular portion of its practice, the volume contains my matured views of the principal questions which occupy the present age, within the province of purely organic institutions, and raises, by anticipation, some other questions to which growing necessities will sooner or later compel the attention both of theoretical and practical politicians. The chief of these last, is the distinction between the function of making laws, for which a numerous popular assembly is radically unfit, and that of getting good laws made, which is its proper duty and cannot be satisfactorily fulfilled by any other authority: and the consequent need of a Legislative Commission, as a permanent part of the constitution of a free country; consisting of a small number of highly trained political minds, on whom, when Parliament has determined that a law shall be made, the task of making it should be devolved; Parliament retaining the power of passing or rejecting the bill when drawn up, but not of altering it otherwise than by sending proposed amendments to be dealt with by the Commission”.

THE CONTEST IN AMERICA “My strongest feelings were engaged in this struggle, which, I felt from the beginning, was destined to be a turning point, for good or evil, of the course of human affairs for an indefinite duration. Having been a deeply interested observer of the slavery quarrel in America, during the many years that preceded the open breach, I knew that it was in all its stages an aggressive enterprise of the slave- owners to extend the territory of slavery; under the combined influences of pecuniary interest, domineering temper, and the fanaticism of a class for its class privileges, influences so fully and powerfully depicted in the admirable work of my friend Professor Cairnes, The Slave Power. Their success, if they succeeded, would be a victory of the powers of evil which would give courage to the enemies of progress and damp the spirits of its friends all over the civilized world…the inattention habitual with Englishmen to whatever is going on in the world outside their own island, made them profoundly ignorant of all the antecedents of the struggle, insomuch that it was not generally believed in England…that the quarrel was one of slavery. There were men of high principle and unquestionable liberality of opinion, who thought it was a dispute about tariffs…It was my obvious duty to be one of the small minority who protested against this perverted state of public opinion.. When...the alarm of war was over, I wrote, in January, 1862, the paper, in Fraser’s Magazine, The Contest in America”. J S Mill, Autobiography pp.266-270

After Bain, the deluge, and nor has the inundation yet receded. To this day it remains one of the most widely read and quarrelled over expositions of modern ethical thought. The search for

HAMISH RILEY-SMITH RARE BOOKS

new moral underpinnings had been going on ever since some 18th century thinkers had begun to fear the imminent collapse of Christian belief. Like Bentham before him, Mill felt it essential to get ethics out of the damp and fog of intuition and revelation, and into the sunlight of reason. With the increasing acceptance of utility as an ethical standard, Utilitarianism has become a landmark volume, with its five short chapters managing to touch upon nearly all the major concerns of modern moralists.

Porter, The Social Nation and its Futures: English Liberalism and Polish Nationalism in Late Nineteenth-Century Warsaw, in: The American Historical Review, vol. 101, No. 5, December, 1995, pp. 1470-77). Mill himself had been closely following the events in Poland of the 1860s, as his Letter on Poland, published in the Penny Newsman for March 15, 1863 proves. It is ‘a discussion of the insurrectionary movement in Poland which, Mill maintains, is designed to return the lands to the peasants; [it] is popular in origin; and is, because it is a revolution, indicative of the commencement of a new era in the downtrodden countries of Europe’ (MacMinn, Hainds & McCrimmon, p. 94). As stated on the title of Utilitarianism, this Polish edition was authorized by Mill.

The practical reformer has continually to demand that changes be made in things which are supported by powerful and widely-spread feelings, or to question the apparent necessity and indefeasibleness of established facts; and it is often an indispensable part of his argument to show, how those powerful feelings had their origin, and how these facts came to seem necessary and indefeasible. There is therefore a natural hostility between him and a philosophy which discourages the explanation of feelings and moral facts by circumstances and associations, and prefers to treat them as ultimate elements of human nature…and deems intuition to be the voice of Nature and of God, speaking with an authority higher than that of reason….Considering then the writings and fame of Sir W.Hamilton as the great fortress of the intuitional philosophy in this country…I thought it might be a real service to philosophy to attempt a thorough examination of all his most important doctrines, and an estimate of his general claims to eminence as a philosopher…On the whole, the book has done its work: it has shown the weak side of Sir William Hamilton, and his reduced his too great philosophical reputation within more moderate bounds.” J S Mill, Autobiography pp.271-276.

I was a tolerably frequent speaker, sometimes of prepared speeches, sometimes extemporaneously…My advocacy of women’s suffrage and of Personal Representation, were at the time looked upon by many as whims of my own; but the great progress since made by those opinions, and especially the response made from all parts of the kingdom to the demand for women’s suffrage, fully justified the timeliness of those movements, and have made what was undertaken as a moral and social duty, a personal success.” J.S.Mill, Autobiography pp.285-6.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS DELIVERED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS Mill had been elected Rector of the University of St Andrew’s by the students. He wrote of his Inaugural Address there “I gave expression to many thoughts and opinions which had been accumulating in me through life, respecting the various studies which belong to a liberal education, their uses and influences, and the mode in which they should be pursued to render their influences most beneficial. The position taken up, vindicating the high educational value alike of the old classic and the new scientific studies, on even stronger grounds than are urged by most advocates, and insisting that it is only the stupid inefficiency of the usual teaching which makes these studies be regarded as competitors instead of allies, was, I think, calculated, not only to aid and stimulate the improvement which has happily commenced in the national institutions for higher education, but to diffuse juster ideas than we often find, even in highly educated men, on the conditions of the highest mental cultivation”.

The leading features of the pamphlet were, on the one hand, an argument to show the undesirableness, for Ireland as well as England, of separation between the countries, and on the other, a proposal for settling the land question by giving the existing tenants a permanent tenure, at a fixed rent, to be assessed after due inquiry by the State. The pamphlet was not popular, except in Ireland, as I did not expect it to be”. J S Mill, Autobiography pp.293-295.

THE SUBJECTION OF WOMEN Referring to his wife Harriet’s contribution he wrote in his Autobiography “It might be supposed, for instance, that my strong convictions on the complete equality in all legal, political, social and domestic relations, which ought to exist between men and women, may have been learnt from her. This was far from being the fact, that those convictions were among the earliest results of the application of my mind to a political subject, and the strength with which I held them, was, as I believe, more than anything else, the originating cause of the interest she felt in me. What is true is, that until I knew her, the opinion was in my mind, little more than an abstract principle. I saw no more reason why women should be held in legal subjection to their people, than why men should. I was certain that their interests required fully as much protection as those of men, and were quite as little likely to obtain it without an equal voice in making the laws by which they were bound. But that perception of the vast practical bearings of women’s disabilities which found expression in the book on the Subjection of Women was acquired mainly through her teaching…I am painfully conscious of how much of her best thoughts on the subject I have failed to reproduce, and how greatly that little treatise falls short of what would have been if she had put on paper her entire mind on this question, or had lived to revise and improve, as she certainly would have done, my imperfect statement of the case”.

THE LAND TENURE REFORM ASSOCIATION Packe wrote of Mill in his Life “It is true he wished to nationalize the land. He believed that a man was entitled to possess only what he could earn and make himself. As no man made the land, and since the landowner drew all the profit from its use while contributing nothing to its fruitfulness, Mill saw no reason why this ancient monopoly…should not be abrogated…He lent his active support to the Land Tenure Reform Association. He frequently addressed the meetings which they sponsored. He drafted a manifesto of their aims and objects, and arranged for Longmans to put it out at 6d. The last two articles he published were written on behalf of the Association [in 1873], and in his will he left them £500.” Packe, The Life of John Stuart Mill, pp.490-491.

THREE ESSAYS ON RELIGION Mill’s last, posthumous, work, edited by his step-daughter Helen Taylor. Mill maintained a determined silence on questions of religion during his lifetime; and it was with some consternation, therefore, that his followers discovered from these essays – the first two written as early as the 1850s, when Mill was also composing On Liberty and the two essays afterwards combined as Utilitarianism – that he did not entirely condemn religion.

CHAPTERS ON SOCIALISM “It has often been claimed that had he lived a little longer, Mill would have become the first and foremost of the Fabians. Certainly, when he died he was working at a book on Socialism, which he intended to be as exhaustive as the Represnetative Government and to outrank it in importance. When Helen [Taylor] published his somewhat inconclusive beginning for this book, he was found to have predicted the rise of Socialism as an inevitable consequence of universal suffrage” Packe, pp.489.

The positivist John Henry Bridges (1832-1906) was, alongside Richard Congreve, Frederic Harrison and Edward Beesley, a significant representative of Comtian philosophy in Britain. His 'literary services to positivism included translations of Comte, most notably of his General View of Positivism (1865). He also established himself as an apologist with his short book on The Unity of Comte's Life and Doctrine (1866), in which he undertook to reply to J.S. Mill's critique of the same year, Auguste Comte and Positivism. Mill, as presented by Bridges, was an 'incomplete Positivist', one who accepted it as a philosophy but not in its social or religious dimensions. Mill, he suggested, would have been less harsh as a critic if he had not been burdened by his own 'dread of system'.'

Christie, in this pamphlet, defends Mill’s reputation from these ‘slurs...of an ignoble letter’. “It is part of the wickedness of the accusation that the accuser knew the subject-matters to be such that Mr Mill’s friends, however certain of the real strength of the case, would be reluctant to touch them”.

Auguste Comte (1798-1857) began a course of lectures in Paris in 1826 on positive philosophy which were expanded into this six volume work. The Cours de Philosophie Positive was published over a period of twelve years and is Comte’s magnum opus. It attempts to show that the facts of society are as reducible to general laws as other phenomena. “His remarkable achievement is the construction of system which embraces all human activity and knowledge. His attempt to link up all science, to relate its development to the progress of society and combine it with a system of

improvement with humanity in place of an external supreme being, is still one of the major documents of secular philosophy”. Printing & the Mind of Man. “Il fonde une ‘Physique Sociale’ ou ‘Sociologie’ pour compléter l’encyclopédie positive de six ‘sciences fondamentales’ (Mathématiques, Astronomie, Physique, Chimie, Biologie, Sociologie)”. En Français dans le Texte. John Stuart Mill concluded after reading the first five volumes that the Cours was “one of the most profound books ever written on the philosophy of the sciences”. When Comte lost his position as examiner to the École Polytechnique and was dismissed, Mill offered to help and for the last years of his life Comte was dependent on subscriptions raised for him by his friends. Now for the first time I fell in with Comte’s Cours de Philosophie Positive, or rather with the two volumes of it which were all that had at that time been published...Comte is always precise and profound on the method of investigation, but he does not even attempt any exact definition of the conditions of proof: and his writings show that he never attained a just conception of them....Nevertheless, I gained much from Comte, with which to enrich my chapters in the subsequent rewriting [of Logic]: and his book was of essential service to me in some of the parts which still remained to be thought out. As his subsequent volumes successively made their appearance, I read the with avidity, but, when he reached the subject of Social Science, with varying feelings. The fourth volume disappointed me: it contained those of his opinions on social subjects with which I most disagree. But the fifth, containing the connected view of history, rekindled all my enthusiasm; which the sixth (or concluding) volume did not materially abate...I had been long an ardent admirer of Comte’s writings before I had any communication with him...For some years we were frequent correspondents, until our correspondence became controversial, and our zeal cooled. I was the first to slacken correspondence; he was the first to drop it. J.S.Mill, Autobiography pp.209-213. Printing & the Mind of Man, no. 295. En Français dans le Text, no.245. Goldsmith 26077.

Gomperz was an Austrian academic, trained as an Hellenist and had taken up the study of Mill’s philosophy as a subject quite distinct from his main area of scholarly interest. Convinced that the German speaking world, largely dominated by a philosophy of innate principles and intuitive induction, would benefit from English positivism, he undertook to translate Mill’s System of Logic at the age of 22 in 1854, so impressing the philosopher with his understanding of the work that he gained his immediate and lasting approval. Although Gomperz, an obsessive perfectionist, continued to tinker with his translation of the Logic until 1868, finally publishing it in the complete German edition of Mill’s work which came out in 1869-1880. Throughout Mill persisted in regarding Gomperz as his official translator and sent him copies of his works as they came out. In 1873 Gomperz became a professor and lived to attain an international reputation. Rare [BL and LSE only in copac]

This great discovery, for it is no less, in the political art, inspired me, as I believe it has inspired all thoughtful persons who have adopted it...Had I met Mr Hare’s system before the publication of my pamphlet, I should have given an account of it there...” J.S.Mill, An Autobiography, pp.258-260.

There was much superficiality, as well as flippancy, in Macaulay’s articles; yet, they exposed weak points in the statement, if not in the substance of our author’s theories; and they are memorable for having created an epoch in the intellectual history of his son, so far as concerned the Logic of Politics.” Bain, pp.215, 221-227

London, Smith, Elder & Co. 1858 Octavo, original publishers cloth, printed paper label, pp.viii +153, 16 adverts. £300 First edition. Written at the time of the Indian Mutiny and when there was a feeling that the rule over so vast an area and people was too great to be left in the hands of the East India Company. Martineau argues for an inquiry to consider ways of modifying the rule by the East India Company but by making use of its influence and experience. Later that year an ‘Act for the better government of India’ was promulgated and the Company was swept away. Mill wrote in his Autobiography “I was the chief manager of the resistance which the Company made to their own political extinction, and to the letters and petitions I wrote for them, and the concluding chapter of my treatise on Representative Government, I must refer for my opinions on the folly and mischief of this ill-considered change”. He had a strong aversion to the Whig passion for making dominion governments directly dependent on the English Parliament, as he had shown in the case of Canada. In 1858 he wrote five pamphlets against change and his petition to Parliament was praised by Lord Grey as the ablest state paper he had ever read. Harriet Martineau had been present at the dinner party at the Taylor’s in 1830 when Mill first met Harriet Taylor. Mill disliked her. Packe writes “Now that Harriet Martineau gossiped is undeniable…Mill thought her a cantankerous and opinionated creature, the hard and narrow core of the sectarian radicalism he was trying to puncture. He never liked her: she was not his friend. And from the first she disapproved of Harriet (Taylor) for being frivolous”. J.S.Mill, Autobiography, pp.249-250.

Provenance: i. Library of the historian and radical George Grote (1794-1871) and contains both his autograph and bookplate. Manuscript dates with Grote’s autograph appear on some pamphlets, for various months in the fall and winter of 1835, and for January and February of 1836. George Grote moved in the same circle as Roebuck, he was also friends and correspondent with John Stuart Mill and his father James Mill, [he was introduced to James Mill by David Ricardo] and himself took up the cause of parliamentary reform as M.P. for the City of London from 1832-1841, author of History of Greece, married to Harriet. Bequeathed to the University of London. ii. University of London, acquisition and withdrawal stamps of the University of London on front free end-paper, and final leaf of the final pamphlet.

First editions of twenty-six [with two duplicates] of the thirty-six weekly pamphlets edited and published by the Radical reformer during his most active period as M.P. for Bath, 1835-1836 John Arthur Roebuck [1801-1879], politician, disciple of Bentham and friend and admirer of John Stuart Mill, part of Mill’s group known as the ‘philosophical radicals’, although sympathising with Bentham and James Mill, they disagreed upon various points both with their leaders and each other, but they appeared to outsiders as a clique. Mill admits that their contempt for ‘sentimentalities’ and ‘vague generalities,’ and for poetic culture generally, was excessive, as it naturally made them offensive to others. His Pamphlets for the People did much to publicise the principles of the Radicals and all the questions of the day were successively handled. It was an attempt to break down the newspaper stamp which the Whig Government would not abolish. Roebuck’s plan was to provide cheap issues of important articles and the circulation of the tracts was substantial. £1200

John Stuart Mill concluded after reading the first five volumes that the Cours de Philosophie Positive of Comte’s magnum opus was “one of the most profound books ever written on the philosophy of the sciences”. In November 1841 he wrote to Comte suggesting they commence a correspondence to clear up one or two minor points of difference. “I had been long an ardent admirer of Comte’s writings before I had any communication with himself; nor did I ever, to the last, see him in the body. But for some years we were frequent correspondents, until our correspondence became controversial, and our zeal cooled. I was the first to slacken correspondence; he was the first to drop it”. J S Mill, Autobiography pp.209-213. “To Comte, it seemed that Mill had come to him for elaboration of a few points in a work of genius which his mind was not yet good enough to grasp. From first to last, Comte’s letters had a tone of parental guidance and correction: it never occurred to him that Mill could disagree with him. He simply thought that Mill was in the vanguard of the school of Positivism which was bound to spring up everywhere, and was only astonished that England of all countries should be first to lead the way…Although Mill’s first enthusiasm gave some grounds for the mistake, he regarded himself not as Comte’s follower but as his colleague…It was not until they came discuss the supposedly secondary matters that stood between them that the rift appeared. Their differences hinged on the theory of psychology, which Mill maintained was a science in its own right…But Comte was determined that all states of mind had physical causes, and that what we call the mind was no more than a physical mechanism…” Packe, pp.274-284
