marshal, that my brothers and I saw most of him. I think that during the years of his judgeship I came to know all his opinions, and share most of them. One result of his strong memory, and the immense quantity of talking and reading that he had done in his life, was that he was never at a loss for conversation. But to attempt to give an idea of what his intimate talk was like when he conversed at his ease about all manner of men and things is not my business. It was, of course, impossible to live in the house with him without being impressed by his extraordinary industry. The mere bulk of the literary work he did at Anaverna would make it a surprising product of fifteen long vacations, and there was not a page of it which had not involved an amount of arduous labour which most men would regard as the antithesis of holiday-making. This, however, as the present biography will have shown, was his normal habit, and these notes are designed to indicate that it did not prevent him from enjoying, when away from books and pens and ink, a happy and vigorous life. FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 119: The first volume of his _Civilization in Europe_ appeared in 1857.] [Footnote 120: Mill elaborately argues that the social sciences are possible precisely because the properties of the society are simply the sum of the properties of the individuals of which it is composed. His view of the importance of this theory is given in his _Autobiography_ (first edition), p. 260. And see especially his _Logic_, Bk. vi. chap. vii.] [Footnote 121: _Liberty, Equality, Fraternity_, p. 212. (My references are to the second edition.)] [Footnote 122: P. 17.] [Footnote 123: P. 10. This is almost literally from Bentham, who gives several similar classifications of 'sanctions.'] [Footnote 124: P. 19.] [Footnote 125: P. 183.] [Footnote 126: P. 184.] [Footnote 127: Pp. 32, 112.] [Footnote 128: P. 244.] [Footnote 129: Pp. 193, 195.] [Footnote 130: P. 30.] [Footnote 131: P. 239.] [Footnote 132: P. 184.] [Footnote 133: P. 96.] [Footnote 134: P. 140.] [Footnote 135: P. 139.] [Footnote 136: P. 162.] [Footnote 137: P. 177.] [Footnote 138: P. 169.] [Footnote 139: P. 58.] [Footnote 140: P. 82.] [Footnote 141: P. 84. The quotation is not quite accurate.] [Footnote 142: Pp. 105-107.] [Footnote 143: P. 109.] [Footnote 144: P. 92.
