Fine Unsigned Autograph Letters to his publisher, George ALLEN
(1832-1907, Craftsman and Engraver who became assistant to Ruskin and then became his publisher) saying he is “much pleased at your being in so good spirits. I am fairly well, and the new notions getting into close form. The Laws of Fresole had better be planned as a series to be finished next year, of properly elementary teaching. I will do it in twelve parts of the size of Fors [Clavigera] at the same price, giving four to line, four to colour, four to shade. One plate in each and supplementary plates arranged for an appendix. Then the general and wide teaching, with old Modern Painters in bits will follow under another name. Write here, tomorrow, but all next week to Broadlands. You’ll get the Thistle on Monday or Tuesday...”, 2 sides 8vo., Corpus Christi College, Oxford headed paper crossed out, Heren Hill, 4th December with the year added

RUSKIN
(John, 1819-1900, Art Critic & Writer)
Fine Autograph Letters Signed to Henry Jowett,
head printer at Hazell Watson & Viney’s Aylesbury works, where Ruskin’s later books were set up, sending him “in this, and another packet, I send you choppings up and new copy which will fit altogether into a long chapter in ‘Viola’ (Not Viola Camina - please correct throughout) and a short one on Pinguicula. This Chap II is to be followed by ‘Veronica’ which is just ready and I believe we may easily get two numbers of Proserpina out together - only you always seem to take such a time after I pass the last verse. I think the nine pages more copy will leave little of this number to spare but I will fill in the last bit of Chapter 1 as you tell me what is wanted...”, 2 sides 8vo., Brantwood, Coniston headed paper, 1st November
