 At his inaugural address, delivered to the University on 1 February 1867, he made the now famous (but often wrongly attributed) remark that "Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing".That Mill included that sentence in the address is a matter of historical record, but it by no means follows that it expressed a wholly original insight.During the same period, 1865–68, he was also a Member of Parliament for City and Westminster.
