Appendix H

Signatures

the following list gives, in alphabetical order, all the signatures used by Mill in these volumes. The years of Mill’s first and last use are given in parentheses following the relevant item numbers. Many of these, especially the early ones, are evidently chosen as appropriate to the subject and the comment on it; others, including the initials not deriving from Mill’s name, indicate continuity within a series, though sometimes not all the items in a series have the signature, and some initials, used only once, are unexplained. Two of the initials were used by Mill also in periodical articles: “A.” (originally as standing for “Antiquus”) and “S.”, both used in the London and Westminster Review, the former more commonly.
