Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Letters of John Stuart Mill, Vol. 2 I should be much to blame in replying to your letter by so long a one as this did I not add my sincere hope that you will not consider it necessary to make the smallest answer to it. I thank you heartily for your kind invitation to your breakfasts, and I promise myself to make use of the privilege. I do not expect to be in England for the first two months after Easter, but shall be there in june. - I am, my dear sir, very truly yours, S. MILL.

Excerpt from The Letters of John Stuart Mill, Vol. 2 My Dear Sir, - When I took the liberty of sending you Mr. Loring's pamphlet, nothing was further from my thoughts than to engage you in a controversy of any sort. I am much honoured by your having spared time to write to me so fully on the subject, and am very glad to find, in the view you take of it, nothing from which I differ in principle. I did not mean to identify myself with all Mr. Loring's sentiments; I think him decidedly unjust to our Government, which has shown itself throughout in a far more favourable light than the predominant portion of our public. But he seemed to me to be often right, and when wrong, only in a manner in which it is most natural and scarcely unreasonable that an American should be so. I thought that his statement would interest you, and that your being acquainted with it might perhaps be of use. In addition to the two important points touched on in your letter, it seems to me that several others are raised by Mr. Loring. I pass over those which are evidently untenable, or which have a moral but not a jurisprudential value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Earlier Letters of John Stuart Mill, published in two volumes in 1963, were well received by critics and scholars alike. The publication of these four volumes of later letters completes this edition of Mill's personal correspondence. These volumes contain over 1,800 letters, most never before published, and some sixty earlier letters that have come to light since the publication of the first two volumes of correspondence. The letters have been assembled from widely dispersed collections in the libraries of fifty-eight institutions and of some thirty private collections in Britain and in other countries of the Commonwealth, Europe, and North America. In addition, many personal letters of which no originals survived have been located in contemporary periodicals or biographies of Mill's correspondence.
