Synopsis:

Contents include a selected bibliography and an editor's Introduction broken into two sections. The first section provides a brief sketch of the historical, social, and biographical context in which Mill wrote and the second traces the central line of argument in the text to aid in the comprehension of the essay's structure, method, and major theses.

Review: "Alexander should be commended for making this invaluable material accessible to scholars and students." -- Maria H. Moralies, Florida State University

"The introduction offers fresh insights...[and] the background readings provide much illumination into aspects of Mill's thought." -- Thomas Christiano, University of Arizona

"With an impressively compact and engaging introduction and a well-chosen selection of ancillary materials, Alexander's edition is an excellent choice." -- Eileen Gillooly, Columbia University
