Présentation de l'éditeur :
KssESI, 902375 PREFACE. One of the most brilliant, discursive, and original authors of the present century is the celebrated John Ruskin, LL.D., Professor of Art in Oxford University, England. Having explored Nature, from the highest clouds floating above the earth, to the tiniest moss clinging to its surface ;he has written a series of books, describing the whole realm with the imagination of a poet, and the profound knowledge of a physiologist. Mr. us;km-s; talent; and taste for Art might have rendered him famous as an artist; he preferred giving to the world, by his writings, the knowledge of architecture, sculpture and painting, acquired by keen observation and extensive study of the works of artists, ancient and modern.
