This important work is written by Mr. Collingwood, who has been for some years 

 Mr. Ruskin's private secretary, and who has had unique advantages in obtaining 

 materials for this book from Mr. Ruskin himself and from his friends. It con- 



biography of Mr. Ruskin. The book contains numerous portraits of Mr. 

 Ruskin, including a coloured one from a water-colour portait by himself, and also 13 

 sketches, never before published, by Mr. Ruskin and Mr. Arthur Severn. A biblio- 

 graphy is added. 



The First Edition having been at once exhausted, a Second is now ready. 



' No more magnificent volumes have been published for a long time than " The Life 

 and Work of John Ruskin." In binding, paper, printing, and illustrations they will 

 satisfy the most fastidious. They will be prized not only by the band of devotees 

 who look up to Mr. Ruskin as the teacher of the age, but by the many whom no 

 eccentricities can blind to his genius. . . . These volumes cannot be dismissed with- 

 out a word as to the beauty of the Illustrations, which show Mr. Ruskin's extra- 

 ordinary artistic precocity.' Times. 



1 These volumes are valuable alike in their contents and in the care with which they 

 are issued from the press. They contain many drawings some of Mr. Ruskin, 

 and others by him, and altogether they amply illustrate the spiritual life of this 

 great teacher from its beginning to the present period, when, spiritually speaking, 

 it may be said to have reached its close. It is just because there are so many 

 books about Mr. Ruskin that these extra ones are needed. They survey all the 

 others, and supersede most of them, and they give us the great writer as a whole 

 . . . He has given us everything needful a biography, a systematic account of his 

 writings, and a bibliography. . . . This most lovingly written and most profoundly 

 interesting book.' Daily News. 



1 The story of Mr. Ruskin's life and work, as told by Mr. Collingwood in two thick 

 and sumptuous volumes, is one of singular interest. . . . The record is one which is 

 well worth telling ; the more so as Mr. Collingwood knows more about his subject 

 than the rest of the world. . . . His record of this notable life is done with taste and 

 judgment. Mr. Collingwood is an artist whose sympathies are always on the right 

 side. . . . His two volumes are fitted with elaborate indices and tables, which will 

 one day be of immense use to the students of Ruskin's work. ... It is a book 

 which will be very widely and deservedly read.' St. James's Gazette.
