Mill began the study of Greek, with
arithmetic as an evening relaxation
as Samuel Wellington puts it in the
Westminster Review.
At eight he began Latin, Euclid and
algebra and had to act as tutor to the
Younger children. He was stern and
efficient tutor.
At twelve he began scholastic logic
and political economy-the latter his
main lifework.
At fourteen, while paying a long Wis
it to Sir Samuel Bentham in southern
France, he learned French as a relaxa'
ton from studying two or three hours
before breakfast. five hours between
breakfast and dinner and two or three
in the evening. Being for the time
master of his own hours and not sub
ject to a stern father, he took lessons
also in his spare hours in music. sing
ing. dancing, fencing and riding, but
never became proficient.
At sixteen Mill could speak in debate
with adults with ease ana freedom
At eighteen he contributed to the
Westminster Review. At twenty-ont
he was made assistant in the India
office and received a large salary fo
those days.

to use it for all it was worth to him.
