Mill, John Stuart

On Liberty. London: John W. Parker and Son, 1859. Lightly browned. Nineteenth-century half calf over marbled boards, endpapers marbled en suite, top edge gilt; hinges restored. First edition. "'Mill on Liberty' remains his most widely read book. It represents the final stage in the growth of Utilitarian doctrine, and its central point is one which had escaped both Mill's father and Bentham. Mill realized that the 'greatest good' of the community is inseparable from the liberty of the individual" (Printing and the Mind of Man 345).

Principles of Political Economy with some of their Applications to Social Philosophy. London: John W. Parker, 1848. Y1 with marginal tear into text. Retrospective half speckled calf over marbled boards, yellow endpapers, red-sprinkled edges. First edition. (Goldsmiths' Library 35525; Kress C7500)

Considerations on Representative Government. London: Parker, Son & Bourn. Half-title, 4-page publisher's catalogue at end. Publishers' blind-stamped ochre cloth, ochre-coated endpapers; corners bumped, spine very slightly darkened. First edition. Bookplate of H. E. G. Evans.

Together 3 works in 4 volumes by John Stuart Mill, 8vo (various sizes). Mostly lacking ad leaves and publisher’s catalogues.
