John Stuart Mill 
Autobiography 

The following is a rare account of John Stuart Mill’s life, written by the man himself. He was an English philosopher, political economist, Member of Parliament (MP) and civil servant. One of the most influential thinkers in the history of classical liberalism, he contributed widely to social theory, political theory, and political economy. Dubbed ‘the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century’, he conceived of liberty as justifying the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state and social control.
