Transcriber's note:
The punctuation in the index was inconsistent. Usage of ',' and '.' has
been regularized, with final stops after each entry supplied where
missing.
The index also has several errors of alphabetizing, with "pi" entries
and "Pæstum" following "pl" entries. The printed order has
been retained.
As noted by Ruskin in the text, the references in the index refer to the
numbered paragraphs, not page numbers.
Obvious printer's errors and omissions have been silently corrected.
Any variants of spelling and use of hyphenation are preserved except
as noted below.
Corrections:
p. 78 h[ie/ei]ght Corrected.
p. 269 "Bee, wisdom of" 193[-]196". Added, as the Bee is the
subject across those
paragraphs.
p. 287 "Oxford ... its teaching, Added, based on the text.
In the Index, any references to the Preface are incorrect, being
misnumbered, generally, by two pages (e.g. p. viii = p. vi). The
index is retained as printed.
Public-domain text, read in full here on John Shaqi.
