“Mr. Ruskin’s work will send the painter more than ever to the study of nature; will train men who have always been delighted spectators of nature, to be also attentive observers. Our critics will learn to admire, and mere admirers will learn how to criticise: thus a public will be educated.”--_Blackwood’s Magazine._ “A generous and impassioned review of the works of living painters. A hearty and earnest work, full of deep thought, and developing great and striking truths in art.”--_British Quarterly Review._ “A very extraordinary and delightful book, full of truth and goodness, of power and beauty.”--_North British Review._ _The Stones of Venice._ _Complete in Three Volumes, Imperial 8vo, with Fifty-three Plates and numerous Woodcuts, drawn by the Author. Price 5l. 15s. 6d., cloth._ EACH VOLUME MAY BE HAD SEPARATELY. VOL. I. THE FOUNDATIONS, _with 21 Plates, price 2l. 2s. 2nd Ed._ VOL. II. THE SEA STORIES, _with 20 Plates, price 2l. 2s._ VOL. III. THE FALL, _with 12 Plates, price 1l. 11s. 6d._ “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, we are convinced, elevate taste and intellect, raise the tone of moral feeling, kindle benevolence towards men, and increase the love and fear of God.”--_Times._ “The ‘Stones of Venice’ is the production of an earnest, religious, progressive, and informed mind. The author of this essay on architecture has condensed into it a poetic apprehension, the fruit of awe of God, and delight in nature; a 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 paralleled.”--_Spectator._ _The Seven Lamps of Architecture._ _Second Edition, with Fourteen Plates drawn by the Author. Imperial 8vo. Price 1l. 1s. cloth._ “By the ‘Seven Lamps of Architecture,’ we understand Mr. Ruskin to mean the seven fundamental 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._
