 Utility, Property, and Political Participation: James Mill on Democratic Reform, by Murray Milgate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)

He was led, therefore, to wonder whether the "salutory dread of insurrection" was all that remained to check "misrule and oppression" in that country (ibid., 241).
While it is easy enough to understand why his working-class Radical detractors should have found in that clause grounds sufficient for their determined opposition, it is imperative that Mill's position not be confounded with that of other middle-class reformers of the day.
