Notes:

"The present edition of John Stuart Mill's 'Autobiography' reproduces exactly the edition published by the Columbia University Press in 1924 and reissued in 1944. The Columbia edition was based upon the manuscript in Mill's own hand now in the Columbia University library. This seems to have been Mill's final draft, intended for publication, for attached to it is the statement by Helen Taylor: "Autobiography of J. S. Mill written by himself. To be published without alterations or omissions, within one year after my death.'"--Note on the Text.

Includes bibliographical references (page xvii-xviii).
