Overview
The following papers, selected from a much greater number, include all of the writer's miscellaneous productions which he considers it in any way desirable to preserve. The remainder were either of too little value at any time, or what value they might have was too exclusively temporary, or the thoughts they contained were inextricably mixed up with comments, now totally uninteresting, on passing events, or on some book not generally known; or lastly, any utility they may have possessed has since been superseded by other and more mature writings of the author. Only a small number of these papers are controversial, and in but two is the author aware of anything like asperity of tone. His adversaries were men not themselves remarkable for mild treatment of opponents and quite capable of holding their own in any form of reviewing or pamphleteering polemics. Mill believed that he had in no case fought with other than fair weapons, and any strong expressions which he had used were extorted from him by his subject, not prompted by the smallest feeling of personal ill-will towards his antagonists. In this revision Mill has endeavored to retain only as much of this strength of expression as could not be foregone without weakening the force of the protest. John Stuart Mill (1806-73) was one of the foremost representative of utilitarian thought as well as one of the most influential of nineteenth century liberals. Influenced by Harriet Taylor (his wife), Mill developed a very humane version of utilitarianism that was sympathetic to women's rights, labor unions, proportional representation, and other liberal themes. His major works include On Liberty (1859), Principles of Political Economy (1848), Utilitarianism (1863), and his Autobiography (1873).
