ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the dispersal of the books and papers of John Stuart Mill. A full list of the books which had been stored in the Pantechnicon is preserved and it seems that nearly all of them are now in Sommerville College. There is a rumour that some other books of Mill were at the same time presented to Morlay College. In the autumn of 1905 Miss Mary Taylor disposed on behalf of her aunt Helen Taylor of Mill's books and furniture stored in the Pantechnicon in London, but it is not clear whether this is the material brought from Avignon or whether it was stored there since the dissolution of the London home of Mill and Helen Taylor. On September 21, 1905, Mary Taylor, on behalf of her aunt and on the advice of John Morley, offered the Library to Sommerville College, Oxford, which accepted.
