Scope and content
WW is pleased John Mill is such a man as JCH describes and defends: 'I have no disinclination to believe his good qualities. My quarrel is with the Westminster Review'. WW believes this journal to be destructive and outrageous. John Mill does not write with his name but rather as a London Westminster Reviewer: 'If John Mill be a Coleridgian or a Conservative in any intelligible sense he must be the most infatuated of men to imagine that he can do any good by promulgating his opinions under such auspices. If he think his views of morals consistent with the objects of the review, I should like to see the connexion made out with any reasonable logic'.
