John Stuart Mill (1808-1873) was a torchbearer for liberal thought in the 19th century, including liberty of the individual and freedom of speech, and he championed women’s suffrage in Parliament. A remarkable man – he learned Greek aged three and at eight had read Herodotus, Xenophon and Plato – he campaigned all his life for a just society. These two essays are his key works.
