TAILIEUCHUNG - CONSIDERATIONS ON REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT

ALL speculations concerning forms of government bear the impress, more or less exclusive, of two conflicting theories respecting political institutions; or, to speak more properly, conflicting conceptions of what political institutions are. By some minds, government is conceived as strictly a practical art, giving rise to no questions but those of means and an end. Forms of government are assimilated to any other expedients for the attainment of human objects. They are regarded as wholly an affair of invention and contrivance. Being made by man, it is assumed that man has the choice either to make them or not,. | CONSIDERATIONS ON REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT BY JOHN STUART MILL AUTHOR OF A SYSTEM OF LOGIC RATIOCINATIVE AND INDUCTIVE NEW YORK HARPER BROTHERS PUBLISHERS FRANKLIN SQUARE 1862. PREFACE Those who have done me the honor of reading my previous writings will probably receive no strong impression of novelty from the present volume for the principles are those to which I have been working up during the greater part of my life and most of the practical suggestions have been anticipated by others or by myself. There is novelty however in the fact of bringing them together and exhibiting them in their connection and also I believe in much that is brought forward in their support. Several of the opinions at all events if not new are for the present as little likely to meet with general acceptance as if they were. It seems to me however from various indications and from none more than the recent debates on Reform of Parliament that both Conservatives and Liberals if I may continue to call them what they still call themselves have lost confidence in the political creeds which they nominally profess while neither side appears to have made any progress in providing itself with a better. Yet such a better doctrine must be possible not a mere compromise by splitting the difference between the two but something wider than either which in virtue of its superior comprehensiveness might be adopted by either Liberal or Conservative without renouncing any thing which he really feels to be valuable in his own creed. When so many feel obscurely the want of such a doctrine and so few even flatter themselves that they have attained it any one may without presumption offer what his own thoughts and the best that he knows of those of others are able to contribute towards its formation.
