Excerpt from Oracles on Man GovernmentNew needs emerge. Proportions change. Fresh strata are uncovered. Theories once charged with potency evaporate. SO a later generation must play umpire. How Should Mill be better Off than Grotius or Montesquieu, Descartes or Locke, or Jean Jacques, or any of the others who in their day shook the globe, or lighted up some single stage of the world's dim journey? As is well put for our present case, a work'great in itself and Of exclusive authorship is not the only way in which original power manifests itself. A multitude of small impressions, says Bain, the most sinewy of Mill's allies, may have the accumulated effect of a mighty whole. Who Shall sum up Mill's collective in¿uence as an instructor in politics, ethics, logic, and metaphysics? NO calculus can integrate the innumerable little pulses Of knowledge and of thought, that he has made to vibrate in the minds of his generation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
