	Utility, Property, and Political Participation: James Mill on Democratic Reform, by Murray Milgate
		Having deduced from the principle of utility the proposition that representative democracy was the basic means of securing good government and having shown that "intellectual aptitude"(15) among the voting public was the only prerequisite to the choice of suitable representatives, Mill turned his attention to the question of the property qualification.
		It is altogether futile with regard to the foundation of good government to say that this or the other portion of the people, may at this, or the other time, depart from the wisdom of the middle rank.
		It is, however, worth remembering that Filangieri was himself heavily indebted for his argument to the Italian utilitarian Cesare Beccaria and that it is quite possible that the seeds of Mill's later single-minded devotion to utilitarian philosophy might well have been planted thanks to his encounter with Filangieri in 1806.

		Boys of this temperament are generally despised by their fellows; but Johnson seems to have had the power of enforcing the respect of his companions.
		By becoming an usher in a school, he could at least turn his talents to account with little delay, and that was the most pressing consideration.
		The life of an author resembled the proverbial existence of the flying-fish, chased by enemies in sea and in air; he only escaped from the slavery of the bookseller's garret, to fly from the bailiff or rot in the debtor's ward or the spunging-house.
