49.Ibid.p.105.In one of the letters to Carlyle Mill asks whether the highest masculine,are not identical with the highest feminine,qualities.I should like to see Carlyle's answer.

50.This argument is put by Comte in his correspondence with Mill.So far,Comte seems to have the best of it;and Mill's inability to appreciate the doctrine is characteristic.At this time Mill seems to have been undecided upon the question of divorce.See the discussion in the Letters,pp.208-73.

60.See in Representative Government,p.62,his argument against the objection to Hare's scheme that it would destroy the local character of representation.The objectors think,he says,that 'a nation does not consist of persons but of artificial units,the creation of geography and statistics';that 'Liverpool and Exeter are the proper objects of a legislator's care in contradistinction to the population of those places.'this,he thinks,is 'a curious specimen of delusion produced by words.'

The local interests and affections which bind neighbours and townsmen together may thus be simply set aside.
