James Mill 1773-1836
James Mill was educated in Edinburgh by Sir John Stuart of Fettercain and was licensed to preach in 1798. He came to London in 1802 and supported his family by writing. He became editor of the "Literary Journal" in 1803 and the "St James Chronical" in 1805, he also wrote for the "Edinburgh Review" 1808-1813.
In 1808 he met Jeremy Bentham and was converted to his utilitarian philosophy. He abandoned theology and took an active part in the Bell and Lancaster educational controversy, supporting the Lancastrian institution. He formed an association to set up a Chrestomathic school in 1814, the outcome of this being the formation of the London University in 1825. He also contributed articles to the "Westminster Review" which was started as the official Benthamite paper. | |
