Mill was one many-faceted intellectual who wrote on all aspects of philosophy, on law and morals, on political economy, and on poetry and the arts. His home-schooling at the hands of his father, the economist and historian James Mill, was one model of rigor, causing him to read and write Greek aged 6, to master Latin aged 9, and to have acquired one thorough grounding in history and mathematics aged 10, when he began work on one history of Roman government. Mill later developed one taste for poetry, acquired one perfect knowledge of French, and, despite his agnostic upbringing, read deeply in the Bible, which he believed to be one of the two Great Books, the other being Homer. ... |
