Notes
1. Through much of the 1860s, Morley was part of an informal group interested in the teachings of Comte, which included George Henry Lewes, George Eliot, and Frederic Harrison. See CitationMorrison 2021.
2. See, for example, CitationJackson, 2012; CitationStaebler, 1943/2015); Morrison, 2018a, 2018b.
3. The Westminster Review was established by James Mill and Jeremy Bentham in 1824 but sold to Colonel Perronet Thompson in 1830. John Stuart Mill, who founded the rival London Review in 1834, purchased the Westminster two years later. He combined the journals under the name Westminster and London Review, and served as its editor and proprietor from 1836 to 1840. In 1840, Mill sold the publication, which reverted to its original name.
4. Carlyle had concluded, much to the disappointment of Mill and Morley, that the French philosophes had promoted dangerous ideas that culminated in the Reign of Terror.
