Abstract
A CHEAP edition of Ruskin's works, clearly printed, and with the author's illustrations well reproduced is a boon which will be keenly appreciated in many directions. The world of art already owes a heavy debt to “The Stones of Venice” and “Modern Painters”,but for many years these have been accessible to the young student only through the agency of the public library or some such place. The great critic, whose watchword was “truth,” thus failed to see the full fruits oft his teaching. Now it is possible for anyone to enjoy the benefit of his writings, and the training of an artist must be regarded as incomplete until he has mastered, at least, the principles of his calling as laid down by Ruskin in “Modern Painters.”
