About this book

Critical, Historical, and Miscellaneous Essays; Vol. 2 With a Memoir and Index is a work by Thomas Babington Macaulay. Its subjects include English literature — History and criticism, Great Britain — History..

From the opening pages: “Of {5}those philosophers who call themselves Utilitarians, and whom others generally call Benthamites, Mr. Mill is, with the exception of the illustrious founder of the sect, by far the most distinguished. The little work now before us contains a summary of the opinions held by this gentleman and his brethren on several subjects most important to society. All the seven essays of which it consists abound in curious matter. But at present we intend to confine our remarks to the Treatise on Government, which stands first in the volume. On some future occasion, we may perhaps attempt to do justice to the rest.”
