Summary
John Stuart Mill's book Utilitarianism is one of the most influential and widely-read philosophical defenses of utilitarianism in ethics. The essay first appeared as a series of three articles published in Fraser's Magazine in 1861; the articles were collected and reprinted as a single book in 1863. It went through four editions during Mill's lifetime with minor additions and revisions.

Although Mill includes discussions of utilitarian ethical principles in other works such as On Liberty and The Subjection of Women, Utilitarianism contains Mill's only major discussion of the fundamental grounds for utilitarian ethical theory. (Summary from Wikipedia)
Reviews

This book is still relevant today, owing to the fact that, after 160 years, the enemies of utilitarianism still haven't bothered to look up what it is. JS Mill analyzes each issue carefully. It's a joy to read such intelligent philosophy after months wading through the muck of continental philosophy.
