Dear Bruce Caldwell,

Harriet Taylor had a daughter, Helen, from her first marriage. Helen knew
J.S. Mill in his last years when he had married her widowed mother.  Mill
then founded and headed the Land Tenure Reform Assn., working with Alfred
Russel Wallace. Mill was headed to the left, possibly under the influence of
Harriet Taylor, and certainly of Wallace.  Helen, the daughter, went the
rest of the way and accompanied and supported Henry George when George
toured England, sponsored at times by Wallace and his Land Nationalization
Society.  These relationships are discussed in Charles A. Barker's biography
of Henry George, and also in Elwood P. Lawrence, 1957, Henry George in the
British Isles, Michigan State U Press, and (almost certainly) in Wallace's
2-volume biography, My Life, and in Wallace's 1882 book, Land
Nationalization.

It is of interest that Philip Wicksteed also accompanied George and Taylor
on parts, at least, of George's lecture tours, and that G.B. Shaw later
hired Wicksteed to tutor him in marginal productivity theory.  Shaw
discusses this, in his usual charming way, in "Bluffing the Value Theory". 

Please supply the title of "Hayek's book on the Mill-Taylor relationship" to
which you refer. This is a new one on me.

Thank you, Mason Gaffney

Subject: [SHOE] Permissions Question

Does anyone know who must be asked to get permission to reproduce 
letters sent by Jacob Viner? They are kept at the Special Collections at 
Princeton, but Princeton does not own the copyright, only the letters.
We are putting together a volume in the Hayek Collected Works that will 
contain Hayek's book on the Mill-Taylor relationship, and want to 
include related materials, including the exchange of letters between 
Viner and Hayek that focused on locating Mill's letters.
Anyone who might be able to help can respond off-list.
Thank you,
Bruce Caldwell
