Beschreibung

Octavo, original green cloth. A very good copy with only minimal wear to binding and some usual shelf wear at the tips. Rear hinge slightly cracked. Presentation inscription to title page dated Nov, 1873. FIRST EDITION, second issue (with errata), of one of the classic texts by arguably the greatest nineteenth-century English philosopher. Despite what he called the uneventfulness of his career, few lives have been more closely scrutinized than that of John Stuart Mill. This attention has stemmed partly from the unusual circumstances of his upbringing and marriage, partly from the detailed narrative of his own mental development that Mill left in his Autobiography, and partly from the continuing interest in his political, philosophical, and popular writings still widely felt by readers in many countries at the end of the twentieth century. Mill's Autobiography, composed mainly during the 1850s, but not published until after his death in 1873, was a pioneering essay in the literary genre of psychological self-analysis.
