Chapter 7, General View of the Remainder of My Life
From this time, what is worth relating of my life
will come into a very small compass; for I have no further mental
changes to tell of, but only, as I hope, a continued mental progress;
which does not admit of a consecutive history, and the results of which,
if real, will be best found in my writings. I shall, therefore, greatly
abridge the chronicle of my subsequent years.
Note from KBJ: This is a puzzling paragraph. Mill implies that he experienced no further mental changes, but then says that he exhibited mental progress. What is progress except change for the better? Am I missing something?
