Excerpt from John Stuart Mill, as Some of the Working Classes Knew Him: An Answer to a Letter Circulated by "the Author of the Article in the 'Times' on Mr. Mill's Death"

Anyone competent to judge Mill will recognise at once that this sentence is his, and that it covers the whole ground in question. He regarded it as an intellectual impertinence to set' up as a censor of the divergencies of Of others, in a world where each should seek his own path (and is a fool if he does not), so long as he who takes his own way, walks in it at his own peril.

I quite agree with. One, distinguished for his powers of estimating public men, who writes to me that Mr. Mill neither needs defence nor requires eulogy, and that the highest respect to him is to treat him as above the line of testimonials as Well as libels. Nevertheless it is true that noble natures, unacquainted with Mr. Mill's career, may as much misjudge him as the malevolent - in the absence of facts; and it is a duty we owe to mankind to give the instinct of truth in all men fair play. Therefore it is to this end I write in what I say here.
