John Stuart Mill: A Criticism with Personal Recollections

PREFACE.
IN the present work, I do not propose to give the
complete biography of John Stuart Mill. My chief
object is to examine fully his writings and character ;
in doing which, I have drawn freely upon my personal
recollections of the second half of his life. By means
of family documents, I have been able to add a few
important particulars to his own account of his early
years.
