Excerpt from The Letters of John Stuart Mill, Vol. 1 Miss Helen Taylor, to whom the letters passed when Mill died, took no steps towards their publication. Her death took place on 29th january 1907, and the letters then became the property of Miss Mary Taylor, daughter Of Algernon Taylor, and grand-daughter of Mrs. Mill. She decided that the time had come for the publication of the letters, which are accordingly now presented to the public. Among the various portraits included in the book, I wish to draw special attention to that of James Mill. Like the portrait published in Bain's Life Of james Mill, it is from a drawing that originally belonged to Mrs. Grote. It is the portrait Of which Bain wrote in his preface to that biography: A still better likeness was at one time in her possession, but I cannot learn what became Of it. It may therefore be considered as the best existing likeness of James Mill. The frontispiece Of vol. Ii. Is from the well-known Watts portrait hanging In the National Portrait Gallery. This is not the portrait for which Mill actually sat, but is a copy Of it made by Watts from his original, which is now in the possession Of Sir Charles Dilke.

Excerpt from The Letters of John Stuart Mill, Vol. 1 On Mill's death in 1873, he left behind him an almost complete record of his correspondence over a large period of his life. Painstaking and assiduous to a unique degree, he rarely wrote a letter even on unimportant matters without a liberal sprinkling of erasures and interlineations, which often made its deciphering a task of some difficulty. He therefore formed the habit of transcribing every letter he wrote after he had revised it; the transcribed letter he despatched to his correspondent, while he himself carefully preserved the rough draft. These rough drafts accumulated in the course of years to many thousands, and it is from them that the bulk of the present book is taken. It was clearly Mills intention that a selection of them should be published after his death, for across many of them he had written - "For publication. J. S. Mill." While I have included in the present collection all those so marked by Mill, even though in some cases their interest at the present day hardly seemed to justify it, I have inserted in addition a large number which he had not marked, but which appeared to me to possess an interest, either on account of modern developments in political and philosophical speculation, or on some other grounds. The first three chapters of the book are derived from a different source. With the exception of one letter to Gustave d'Eichthal, they consist exclusively of letters to Carlyle, John Sterling, and Lytton Bulwer (afterwards Lord Lytton). The letters to Sterling are printed from the letters actually sent by Mill, which were apparently returned by Sterling's relatives after his death.

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.
