- The Contest in America' (1862) written in the context of the American Civil War; & his erudite but accessible Inaugural Address Delivered to the University of St Andrews (1867) Mill contributed to several contemporary debates including ones about where to draw the proper boundaries between the liberty of the individual' on one hand & the security of the state' on the other Living as we do in a world where those boundaries continue to be tested & contested Mill's timeless writings are of no less value to us today than they were to those who read them when they were first published
