Appendix B

List of Published Extracts from Mill’s Indian Despatches

mill kept a manuscript list of his published writings¹ in which he included entries for those portions of his Indian Despatches that were made public in official documents. Mill himself had no role in their publication, and they appeared not because he was the author (the despatches were of course official East India Company documents, not issued as his), but because the company, individuals, or the government had a special interest in the matters covered.² In Appendix A above, the complete list of Mill’s despatches, there is indication of those that were in part published; however, because he kept the list of his published writings, it is appropriate to make the record complete up to the time of his death.³

In the list below, the items are arranged according to the order of their publication. The entries are numbered serially: each includes the number assigned to the full despatch in Appendix A,⁴ and the publication data, followed by the entry in Mill’s list of his published writings (signalled by “JSM”). In many cases these entries were grouped by Mill under a general heading: to avoid annoying repetition, this heading is given only for the first such entry, and subsequent entries under it have the notation “General heading in No. 00 above” followed by the specific wording for the separate entries. There are a few mistakes in the original list, which exists only in a scribal copy,⁵ and in MacMinn’s transcription of it, as well as in MacMinn’s identification of the published sources: these have been corrected, and instances of the former two are described in footnotes.⁶ In the volumes of Parliamentary Papers there are normally two sets of page numbers, one printed, reflecting the pagination of the parts when first separately published, the second, inked, giving the pagination of the gathered volume: we have used here, as throughout Collected Works, the inked numbers; Mill used the former (as he was referring to the separate Blue Books), while MacMinn used a mixture of the two, so our page numbers often differ from theirs. In a few cases, material was called for more than once in different circumstances: we have given entries for all printings, with cross-references.

[1 ]Edited by Ney MacMinn, et al., as Bibliography of the Published Writings of John Stuart Mill (Evanston: Northwestern University Press, 1945); referred to subsequently as MacMinn.

[2 ]The circumstances leading to the publication are briefly described in notes.

[3 ]No attempt has been made to comb Parliamentary Papers for extracts from Mill’s despatches published after his death. One instance may be cited, however, an undated “Minute by Mr. John Stuart Mill [regarding the Legislative Council],” in Papers Relating to East India (Legislation), PP, 1876, LVI, 32-4.

[4 ]In one case, No. 43 below, there is no corresponding entry in App. A.

[5 ]British Library of Political and Economic Science, London School of Economics, Mill-Taylor Collection, Vol. XXXVI.

[6 ]Because the manuscript is a copy, such oddities in punctuation as the placing of full stops after dates in the middle of sentences are standardized and corrected silently, and the abbreviations are normalized. The manuscript also indicates rather erratically in shoulder notes the years of entries; these are omitted. Gaps and unusual abbreviations in the manuscripts are filled in, with the added matter in square brackets.

[7 ]Discussion in the House of Commons in connection with the proposed revision of the Charter Act in 1833, particularly with reference to the China trade, led to the presentation of papers by the government, ordered printed 16 Aug., 1832.

[8 ]MacMinn has 393-4 for the printed page nos. 493-8.

[9 ]Before the entry (which is incomplete) there is a note: “(The Political Appendix has not yet appeared.)” The letter not by Mill is probably “Extract Political Letter to Bengal, dated 18th December, 1832,” ibid., PP, 1831-32, XIV, 361, the only extract not in Mill’s India Office list in App. A. MacMinn, evidently not noticing that the extract is from India, lists as the exception “Extract Political Letter from Bombay, dated 20th July, 1830,” ibid., PP, 1831-32, XIV, 353-5.

[10 ]The government presented papers (ordered to be printed on 27 Mar., 1839) relating to Persia and Afghanistan. MacMinn gives 265-7 for the written nos. 266-7.

[11 ]The manuscript reads “Suttara”.

[12 ]The manuscript reads “Proprieties”.

[13 ]Papers were called for in the House of Commons by Joseph Hume on 5 Feb., 1849, in connection with the disposal of the affairs of Sattara on the death of the Rajah, and were ordered to be printed 1 Mar., 1849.

[14 ]Again the manuscript reads “Suttara”.

[27 ]In the manuscript, the words, “Extract Political Letter to Bombay,” are signalled by a series of ditto marks in the entries from No. 87 to No. 106 inclusive. In each case the ditto marks are followed by a date that completes the line. Between the entries for Nos. 94 and 95 there is a line of ditto marks, without a date, concluding with the comment, “(Considerably altered by the B. of Control.)” We have inferred that the copyist erroneously added a line of ditto marks, and that the comment belongs to the previous entry.
