John Stuart Mill, Essays on Politics and Culture. Gloucester, Mass.: Peter Smith, 1973; reprint; originally published by Doubleday & Company, Inc. in 1962; Anchor Books edition 1963. A beige cloth hardcover copy in Octavo (8vo), with 456 pages. This Peter Smith printing presents Mill’s political and cultural essays in a sturdy later hardcover form, ISBN 0-8446-0801-7, retaining the publication history of the Doubleday and Anchor Books editions on the copyright page.
Essays on Politics and Culture gathers John Stuart Mill’s writing as a political and cultural essayist. The contents include “The spirit of the age,” “Civilization,” essays on Bentham and Coleridge, Mill’s discussion of Tocqueville’s Democracy in America, and pieces concerning the Reform Party, parliamentary reform, recent reform writers, and non-intervention. The volume is therefore centred on Mill’s engagement with democratic society, political reform, intellectual influence, civilization, and the limits of state action beyond national borders. Catalogued within political science and the form of addresses, essays, and lectures, it offers a concentrated view of Mill’s public argument across questions of culture and politics rather than a single continuous treatise.
The physical copy is bound in beige cloth and measures 222 × 149 × 89 mm, with a weight of 652 g. It is without dust jacket.
Condition is fine. The beige cloth is generally clean, and the interior is clean, with no markings recorded. Pages present a fresh appearance, with no specific tears, repairs, or other defects noted.
