Considerations on Representative Government

Notes on the text
The chapters in the Mill text tend to be long enough so that download
can be slow. I have accordingly taken the liberty of dividing some of
these chapters into sections. In some cases, e.g., Chapter Two and
Chapter Fourteen, what amounts to sectional divisions are indicated in
the original by means of extra spacing between paragraphs: where I
found such, I respected same in dividing up chapters. (Bookmarker's
warning: I may recombine the sections at some later point.)
I retrieved this text from the 'net, I know not now from whence.
