British philosopher and civil servant (1806–1873) who was an influential contributor to social theory, political theory, and political economy. ALS signed “J. S. Mill,” one page both sides, 4.5 x 7, personal letterhead, July 1, 1860. Letter to an unidentified gentleman. In part: “Allow me to thank you for your kind invitation to dinner…but my occupations compel me at present to decline all evening engagements, and on that particular evening I am obliged to be at the House on account of Mr. Fawcett’s motion to open Dublin University.” In fine condition, with a lightly trimmed left edge. Henry Fawcett, a blind member of Parliament, was a close friend of Mill’s and disputed the educational monopoly in Ireland of the University of Dublin.
