No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Two letters from the author, Abraham Hayward (1801-1884), to the editor of the Times, John Thaddeus Delane, both referring to John Stuart Mill, one of which is altogether bitchy about Mill's wife, Harriet Taylor. Both letters mounted to the edges, probably taken from an album at some stage.'I fi…nd Mill's wife was the wife of a druggist who (treating her as a drug) handed her over to Mill, who lived conjugally with her for years before her husband's death & very unconjugally after - as they were constantly quarrelling. The eldest son of the druggist objected to the arrangement & quarrelled with Mill and his mother - in return for which, she (under Mill's direction I suppose) left all the care away from him at her death. This is the lady over whose mausoleum at Avignon travellers are to weep!'. Signed by Author(s).
