MILL, John Stuart.

Nature, the Utility of Religion, and Theism ...

London, Longmans, Green, Reader, and Dyer, 1874. 8vo, pp. xi, [1] blank, [1] contents, [1] blank, 257, [1] imprint, [2] advertisements; with the half-title (‘Three Essays on Religion’, the title also used on the spine), and the advertisement leaf, pp. 1–2 are blank; slightly shaken in the original dark green pebble-grain cloth, rubbed and a little dampmarked, spine lettered gilt, somewhat darkened and rubbed at extremities. First edition of Mill’s last, posthumous, work, edited by his step-daughter Helen Taylor. Mill maintained a determined silence on questions of religion during his lifetime; and it was with some consternation, therefore, that his followers discovered from these essays – the first two written as early as the 1850s, when Mill was also composing On Liberty and the two essays afterwards combined as Utilitarianism – that he did not entirely condemn religion.Einaudi 3904.
