Note 3 — Chapter III
Reading edition
Letter to Robert Barclay Fox, May 10, 1842. Printed in Appendix to Letters and Journals of Caroline Fox, third ed., vol. ii. pp. 331-2. 'To suppose that the eye is necessary to sight,' says Mill, 'seems to me the notion of one immersed in matter. What we call our bodily sensations are all in the mind, and would not necessarily or probably cease, because the body perishes.'
