Excerpt from The Life of John Ruskin To explain my venturing upon the subject at all, I may perhaps be allowed to state that I became his pupil in 1872 (having seen him earlier), and continued to be in some relation to him - as visitor, resident assistant, or near neighbour - until his death. After his death the biographical part of my book was enlarged at the expense of the description of his writings and in revising once more I have thrown out much relating to his works, chiefly because they are now accessible as they were not formerly.

Excerpt from Life of John Ruskin Waterloo was won at Moscow. By this we mean that the Russian campaign, by extirpating a large part of the soldierly manhood of France, and giving the necessary breathing-space to the many enemies of Napoleon, thereby dooming him, with one nation at his back, to fight a world, while Wellington, with a world at his back, fought one nation, the Russian campaign may be held as the remote cause of the Belgian victory. And this historical mot proves to be a very useful text, from which many sermons can be preached if necessary. For in almost every life it will be found that some antecedent circumstance, often some very small thing indeed, must at the last analysis have been the seed of what appears as an isolated phenomenon and glory.

Includes two of John Ruskin's famous essays: "The Nature of the Gothic" and "The Work of Iron" from his book The Stones of Venice. Ruskin's insights into the need for individual artistic freedom, and his disdain for the mass-production art of the Victorian era, radically altered society's perception of creative design and remain powerfully relevant to our ideas of beauty today.

Excerpt from John Ruskin: His Life and Teaching This book is neither a criticism nor a defence, but a brief exposition of the teachings of John Ruskin. The greater portion of it constituted a series of Lectures prepared for several of the Literary and Debating Societies in Manchester, and the arrangement is, in the main, that adopted in the Lectures. They were especially addressed to those who were seeking information about John Ruskin and his teachings, and this accounts for their elementary character. There is also a predilection about them which some may blame; the only reason I assign for this, is, that for ten years, the writings of John Ruskin have been to me a source of unspeakable delight, the secret of not a little of my endeavour, and the chief suggestive element of much of my thinking. Most men recognise a Master or, at least, are indebted to some one teacher more than to all others and there is, no doubt, a danger on their part of overestimating, or exclusively estimating such Master. To those who purpose a study of Ruskin's works, and would use this book as their guide, the following information as to further reference may be of service: Facts concerning the Life of John Ruskin: see "Fors Clavigera."

Excerpt from The Religion of Ruskin, the Life and Works of John Ruskin: A Biographical and Anthological Study The method adopted in the following selections is to give the name and number of the volume at the head of the chapter, letting the Author's own paragraph number stand at the beginning of each quotation, and giving the further references at the end. Thus on page 105 of this volume will be found paragraphs on Sensual ity Fatal to Beauty in Art. The numbers 21 and 24 are those Of Ruskin's own paragraphing and this, with Pt. III, Sec. 1, Ch. 14, puts the reader in possession of the full reference, viz.: Modern Painters, Vol. II, Part III, Section 1, Chap ter 14, Paragraphs 21, 24. In some instances, where the quotations are continuous, the references to the chapters, etc., are only given at the end of several, but the numbers of the paragraphs are always given. This is especially notable of Vol. IV, Modern Painters. In still other instances no reference is needed other than the number of the paragraph of the work from which it is taken. It must be understood that the topical headlines are our own and not Ruskin's. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from John Ruskin: A Bibliographical Biography We are not insulted with opinions on music from persons ignorant of its notes; nor with treatises on philology by persons unacquainted with the alphabet; but here is page after page of criticism, which one may read from end to end, looking for something which the writer knows, and finding nothing. Not his own language, for he has to look in his dictionary, by his own confession, for a word occurring in one of the most important chapters of his Bible; not the commonest traditions of the schools, for he does not know why Poussin was called learned not the most simple canons of art, for he prefers Lee to Gainsborough; not the most ordinary facts of nature, for we find him puzzled by the epithet silver, as applied to the orange-blossom.
