" The ’ Stones of Venice ’ is the production of an
earnest, religious, progressive, and informed mind.
The author of this essay on architecture has
condensed it into a noetic apprehension, the fruit of
awe of God, and delight in nature ; u knowledge,
love, and just estimate of art; a holding fast to
fact and repudiation of hearsay; an historic
breadth, and a fearless challenge of existing social |
problems, whose union we know not where to find J
paralleled."—Spectator. 1
" This book is one which, perhaps, no other man
could have written, and one for which the world
ought to be and will be thankful. It is in the
highest degree eloquent, acute, stimulating to
thought, and fertile in suggestion. It will, wo
are convinced, elevate taste and intellect, raise
the tone of moral feeling, kindle benevolence
towards men, aud increase the love and lear of
God."—Times.
The Seven Lamps of Architecture.
Second Edition, with Fourteen Plates drawn by the Author. Imperial 8vo.
Price \l. Is. cloth.
"By ’The Seven Lamps of Architecture,’ we
understand Mr. Ruskin to mean the Seven
tunda-mental and cardinal laws, the observance of and
obedience to which are indispensable to the
architect, who would deserve the name. The politician,
the moralist,the divine, will find in it ample store
of instructive matter, as well as the artist. The
author of this work belongs to a class of thinkers
of whom we have too few amongst us."—
Examiner.
" Mr. Ruskin’s book bears sounmistakeably the
marks of keen and accurate observation, of a true
and subtle judgment and retined sense of beauty,
joined with so much earnestness, so noble a sense
of the purposes and business or art, and such a
command of rich and glowing language, that it
caunot but tell powerfully in producing a more
religious view of the uses of architecture, and a
deeper insight into its artistic principles."—
Guardian.
The Political Economy of Art. Price 2s. 6♂. cloth.
"A most able, eloquent, and well-timed work.
We hail it with satisfaction, thinking it calculated
to do much practical good, and wecordially
recommend it to our readers."— Witness.
"Mr. Ruskin’s chief purpose is to treat the
artist’s power, and the art itself, as items of the
world’s wealth, and to show how these may be
best evolved, produced, accumulated, and
dis-tributed."—Athenæum.
" We never quit Mr. Ruskin without being the
better for what he has told us, and therefore wo
recommend this little volume, like all his other
works, to the perusal of our readers."—Economist.
"This book, daring, as it is, glances keenly at
principles, ol’ which some are among the articles
of ancient codes, while others are evolving slowly
to the light ."—Leader.
The Elements of Drawing.
Sixth Thousand. Crown 8 vo. With Illustrations drawn by the Author.
Price 7s. 6d., cloth.
" The rules are clearly and fully laid down; and
the earlier exercises always conducive to the end
by simple and unembarrassing means. The whole
volume is full of liveliness."—Spectator.
" We close this book with a feeling that, though
nothing supersedes a master, yet that no student
of art should launch forth without this work as a
compass."—Athenæum.
" It will be found not only an invaluable
acquisition to the student, but agreeable andinstructive
reading for any one who wishes to refine his
perceptions of natural scenery, and of .its worthiest
artistic representations."—Economist.
" Original as this treatise is, it cannot fail to he
at once instructive and suggestive. —Literary
