John Stuart Mill was born in London England in 1806. He was the son of James Mill and Harriet Burrow and was educated by his father. 

Soren Kierkegaard was born in 1813 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was the son of Michael and Anne Kierkegaard and he was educated by his father. 

Both stories are remarkably similar except that Kierkegaard either scattered his remembrances throughout his journals and books. Or he scattered what he thought of the memory of others throughout his journals and books.  Kierkegaard dealt with the inner and Mill dealt with the outer.

This reading is from the Autobiography of John Stuart Mill, which was published in 1873 and read into the library at Librivox.org in 2012. Johann Goethe published his Autobiography near the end of his life, 1832. I have a link in this section with some of his work there.

Here is a link to Kierkegaard's Journals, well worth reading at last.
