Method, pp. xx, 481. Volume Two, Political Economy, pp. vii, 554.(Studies in Classical Political Economy No. 3). Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1985. f70 per set. WILLIAM THOMAS Mill (Past Masters). Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1985, pp. ii, 134, f8. 95.William Thomas’s slender volume on Mill is a nice complement to the enormously detailed book of Samuel Hollander, particularly for the student (undergraduate through faculty level) who is not a Mill specialist. He covers Mill’s intellectual biography from boyhood through mental crisis and on to Mill’s concluding days “as the schoolmaster of liberalism”. Thomas’s emphasis is on three pillars of Mill’s intellectual career: Bentham’s utilitarianism, Ricardo’s economics, and James Mill’s associationist psychology. The way in which Mill developed and interwove these strands is the focus of the book, which gives in brief compass a useful backgrouind for those trained in economics. In Thomas’s review, Bentham’s utilitarianism is the foundation of a theory of the state, and is both ethical and psychological (men desire pleasure and the avoidance of pain, and this behaviour is good). James and John Stuart Mill became his disciples. The way J. S. Mill treated utilitarianism over his lifetime is typical of the way he treated other subjects, and partly explains why Hollander’s book, which treats the changes in Mill’s economic writing in detail, is so long. At first a doctrinaire utilitarian, after his mental crisis in 1826 he decided that he would not be happy even if his ideals wrere realised. Accordingly he renounced Benthamism in 1829. Then after long study and analysis he added intuition and poetry to his mental arsenal and revised
