MR. RUSKIN’S WORKS ON ART.

Notes on the Pictures in the Exhibition of the Royal Academy, &c., for 1858 By John Ruskin.

Fifth Thousand. 8vo, price One Shilling.

The Political Economy of Art.

Price 2s. 6d. cloth.

“A most able, eloquent, and well-timed work. We hail it with satisfaction, thinking it calculated to do much practical good, and we cordially 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 distributed.”—AthenÆum.

“We never quit Mr. Ruskin without being the better for what he has told us, and we therefore 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, of which some are among the articles of ancient codes, while others are evolving slowly to the light.”—Leader.

The Elements of Drawing.

Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 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 and instructive 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 be at once instructive and suggestive.”—Literary Gazette.

“The most useful and practical book on the subject which has ever come under our notice.”—Press.

Modern Painters, Vol. IV. On Mountain Beauty.

Imperial 8vo, with Thirty-five Illustrations engraved on Steel, and 116 Woodcuts, drawn by the Author. Price 2l. 10s. cloth.

“Considered as an illustrated volume, this is the most remarkable which Mr. Ruskin has yet issued. The plates and woodcuts are profuse, and include numerous drawings of mountain form by the author, which prove Mr. Ruskin to be essentially an artist. He is an unique man, both among artists and writers.”—Spectator.

“The present volume of Mr. Ruskin’s elaborate work treats chiefly of mountain scenery, and discusses at length the principles involved in the pleasure we derive from mountains and their pictorial representation. The singular beauty of his style, the hearty sympathy with all forms of natural loveliness, the profusion of his illustrations form irresistible attractions.”—Daily News.

Modern Painters, Vol. III. Of Many Things.

With Eighteen Illustrations drawn by the Author, and engraved on Steel.

Price 38s. cloth.

“Every one who cares about nature, or poetry, or the story of human development—every one who has a tinge of literature or philosophy, will find something that is for him in this volume.”—Westminster Review.

“Mr. Ruskin is in possession of a clear and penetrating mind; he is undeniably practical in his fundamental ideas; full of the deepest reverence for all that appears to him beautiful and holy. His style is, as usual, clear, bold, racy. Mr. Ruskin is one of the first writers of the day.”—Economist.

“The present volume, viewed as a literary achievement, is the highest and most striking evidence of the author’s abilities that has yet been published.”—Leader.

“All, it is to be hoped, will read the book for themselves. They will find it well worth a careful perusal.”—Saturday Review.

WORKS OF MR. RUSKIN—continued.

Modern Painters. Vols. I. and II.

Imp. 8vo. Vol. I., 5th Edit, 18s. cloth. Vol. II., 4th Edit., 10s. 6d. cloth.

“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.

“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.

“Mr. Ruskin’s book bears so unmistakeably the marks of keen and accurate observation, of a true and subtle judgment and refined sense of beauty, joined with so much earnestness, so noble a sense of the purposes and business of art, and such a command of rich and glowing language, that it cannot but tell powerfully in producing a more religious view of the uses of architecture, and a deeper insight into its artistic principles.”—Guardian.

Lectures on Architecture and Painting.

With Fourteen Cuts, drawn by the Author. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. Price 8s. 6d. cloth.

“Mr. Ruskin’s lectures—eloquent, graphic, and impassioned—exposing and ridiculing some of the vices of our present system of building, and exciting his hearers by strong motives of duty and pleasure to attend to architecture—are very successful.”—Economist.

“We conceive it to be impossible that any intelligent persons could listen to the lectures, however they might differ from the judgments asserted, and from the general propositions laid down, without an elevating influence and an aroused enthusiasm.”—Spectator.

RECENT WORKS.

Sermons. By the late Rev. Fred. W. Robertson, A.M., Incumbent of Trinity Chapel, Brighton.

FIRST SERIES—Fourth Edition, Post 8vo, price 9s. cloth.
SECOND SERIES—Fourth Edition, price 9s. cloth.
THIRD SERIES—Second Edition, Post 8vo, with Portrait, price 9s. cloth.

“Very beautiful in feeling and occasionally striking and forcible in conception to a remarkable degree.”—Guardian.

“Mr. Robertson, of Brighton, is a name familiar to most of us, and honoured by all to whom it is familiar.”—Globe.

“These sermons are full of thought and beauty. There is not a sermon in the series that does not furnish evidence of originality without extravagance, of discrimination without tediousness, and of piety without cant or conventionalism.”—British Quarterly.

Esmond. By W. M. Thackeray, Esq.

A New Edition in One Volume, Crown 8vo, price 6s. cloth.

“Mr. Thackeray has selected for his hero a very noble type of the cavalier softening into the man of the eighteenth century, and for his heroine one of the sweetest women that ever breathed from canvas or from book since Raffaelle painted and Shakspeare wrote.”—Spectator.

“Apart from its special merits “Esmond” must be read just now as an introduction to “The Virginians.” It is quite impossible fully to understand and enjoy the latter story without a knowledge of “Esmond.” The new tale is in the strictest sense the sequel of the old, not only introducing the same characters, but continuing their history at a later period.”—Leader.

Captivity of Russian Princesses in the Caucasus: including a Seven Months’ Residence in Shamil’s Seraglio, in the Years 1854-5. Translated from the Russian, by H. S. Edwards.

With an authentic Portrait of Shamil, a Plan of his House, and a Map. Post 8vo, price 10s. 6d. cloth.

“A book than which there are few novels more interesting. It is a romance of the Caucasus. The account of life in the house of Shamil is full and very entertaining; and of Shamil himself we see much.”—Examiner.

“The story is certainly one of the most curious we have read; it contains the best popular notice of the social polity of Shamil and the manners of his people.”—Leader.

“The narrative is well worth reading.”—AthenÆum.

Religion in Common Life. By William Ellis.

Post 8vo, price 7s. 6d. cloth.

Second Edition, Small Post 8vo, price 5s. cloth.

“A very lucid and compendious manual. We would recommend youths intent upon a seafaring life to study it.”—AthenÆum.

“A little book that ought to be in great request among young seamen.”—Examiner.
