Had I met with Mr. Hare’s system before the publication of my pamphlet, I should have given an account of it there. Not having done so, I wrote an article in Fraser’s Magazine (reprinted in my miscellaneous writings) principally for that purpose, though I included in it, along with Mr. Hare’s book, a review of two other productions on the question of the day; one of them a pamphlet by my early friend, Mr. John Austin, who had in his old age become an enemy to all further Parliamentary reform; the other an able and ingenious, though partially erroneous, work by Mr. Lorimer.

Note from KBJ: As you can see, Mill was a voracious reader and a prodigious writer. I wonder whether he would have blogged, had the technology existed. I'm inclined to think not, but you never know. Some people find blogging a perfect literary outlet.
