ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

for permission to publish manuscript material, we are indebted to the National Provincial Bank (literary executors and residual legatees of Mary Taylor, Mill’s step-grand-daughter), to the Harvard University Library (the fragment of “Thornton on Labour and its Claims”), and to the Yale University Library (the fragment of “Endowments”). I am deeply indebted to the librarians and staff of Somerville College, Oxford, the British Museum, the University of London Library, and the British Library of Political and Economic Science. Mrs. Constance Allen, my editorial assistant, R. M. Schoeffel and R. I. K. Davidson, the copy editors, and Professor F. E. L. Priestley, the General Editor, have helped expunge errors, the remainder of which must be debited to my sad account. To them, and to the members of the Editorial Committee of the Collected Works, my grateful thanks. It is also a pleasure to admit my indebtedness to the printing staff of the University of Toronto Press, whose struggles with an often unruly manuscript have never disrupted our relations. Substituting “editor” for “manuscript,” I may make the same comment about my wife.
