Excerpt from Letters From John Ruskin to Rev. J. P. Faunthorpe, M. A, Vol. 1 There are many things in these letters quite worthy of preservation in print, and, as the words of a great man, even the slightest of them are worthy of memory. I have therefore con sented to their being printed for private circulation, Mr. Wise having assured me that no copyright will be infringed, and that he is editing these volumes with Mr. Ruskin's sanction and approval. The letters themselves of course re main my property. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
