James Mill's three volume History of British India was published from 1817 to 1818 & became an immediate success. A friend of Jeremy Bentham & a follower of utilitarianism, Mill focuses more on historical processes than human interest. He uses extensive sources rather than first-hand experience to create, as his preface claims, an 'objective' yet 'critical' history, often making harsh judgements of the country & its people within the context of a wider theoretical framework. He also criticises the British involvement in India & the process of conquest, colonization, & administration, the intention being to encourage the reader to a greater understanding of historical processes, ideas, & institutions with a view to encouraging thorough reform. Volume 2 covers the period from the formation of the Honourable East India Company in 1708 to East India Company Act of 1773, & from this to Pitt's India Act of 1784.

This second volume of the Analysis of the phenomena of the human mind presents a wide ranging examination of the mind and physical sensations. The beginning chapter (Chapter XIV) discusses and provides definitions of a number of names and relative terms associated with mind processes and mental phenomena. The remaining chapters address the senses; motivation; distinctions between the intellectual and active powers of the mind; the will; intention; social influences and determinants; and, aspects of pleasurable and painful sensations, along with their causes. In terms of writing style, the author clearly reveals his ideas in concise prose. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved).

This book is an attempt to reach the simplest elements which by their combination generate the manifold complexity of our mental states, and to assign the laws of those elements, and the elementary laws of their combination, from which laws, the subordinate ones which govern the compound states are consequences and corollaries. The phenomena of the Mind include multitudes of facts, of an extraordinary degree of complexity. By observing them one at a time with sufficient care, it is possible in the mental, as it is in the material world, to obtain empirical generalizations of limited compass, but of great value for practice. When, however, we find it possible to connect many of these detached generalizations together, by discovering the more general laws of which they are cases, and to the operation of which in some particular sets of circumstances they are due, we gain not only a scientific, but a practical advantage; for we then first learn how far we can rely on the more limited generalizations; within what conditions their truth is confined; by what changes of circumstances they would be defeated or modified.
