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.

First edition.
Mill wrote in his Autobiography
of Hamilton's Lectures of 1860-61 "I was greatly disappointed with the Lectures…I found that the points of apparent agreement between his opinions and mine were more verbal than real; that the important philosophical principles which I had thought he recognised, were so explained away by him as to mean little or nothing, or were continually lost sight of…Now, the difference between these two schools of philosophy, that of Intuition, and that of… Read More

Description:
First edition in German, translated by the political economist Adolph Soetbeer [1814-1892]. This edition is more than a translation; it is an elaboration, with contradictions discarded or reconciled. It includes an appendix, an extensive bibliography, and statistical tables."As far as I have had time to examine it the translations seems extremely well executed: the sense appears to be very faithfully & clearly rendered. I only regret that your time & pains were not bestowed on the edition which is now about to go to press & which I have not only revised throughout but have entirely recast several important chapters; in particular the two most important, those on Property & the on the Futurity of the Labouring Classes" Mill to Soetbeer, March 18 1852, in Mineka, Later letters of John Stuart Mill, letter no.74

£1,100 [plus VAT if applicable]
Helen Taylor, feminist, was the daughter of Harriet Taylor Mill and after her death in 1858 she devoted herself entirely to Mill and became his 'chief comfort'. She took charge of his correspondence and helped him in his work. Together they promoted women's rights. After his death she edited Mill's Autobiography 1873.
Helen Taylor's letters are rarely on the market.
The letter is addressed to 'Dear Madam', which is probably Mrs S Woolcott Browne, Hon Secretary of the Moral Reform Union, who was retiring and to be succeeded by Helen Taylor.
Helen Taylor writes that she is unable to leave Avignon to attend 'the conference of 18th March' as she is… Read More
