One response Mill has to an objection is that “There has been ample time, namely, the whole past duration of the human species.” (in other words, there is a historical moral legacy).  Mill goes on to use, as an example, the Nautical Almanac that sailors use in order to navigate the seas.  The question is: What objection is Mill responding to here?
