| Evidence: | George Grote to John Stuart Mill (October 1857):
'I have looked at W. Humboldt's book: it is written in a very excellent spirit, and deserves every
mark of esteem for the frankness with which it puts forward free individual development as an
end, also for the low comparative estimate which it gives of passive imitation and submission.' |
