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

UNPUBLISHED AUTOGRAPH LETTER TO ADA HARTNELL
RUSKIN
(John, 1819-1900, Writer and Critic)
Fine Autograph Letters Signed to Ada Hartnell of the Guild of St George
saying that he “cannot tell you how much pleasure and strength your letter has given, or will give me. It came at a confused time when I was unable to answer it rightly and I am so still - but here, today, coming home - my gathering work finished for this year... I hold among the first of these, the thanking you - and will try to see you before the end of the week... How guiltily one neglects one’s most precious - quiet abiding friends - & lets oneself drift among the crowd...” with a postscript that he will “write again should I not see you. I shall be at Herne Hill, Godalming on Wednesday evening but see over what night have I to expect people to come to me to help me - when I neglect a creature like you - and later no thought to follow up the guiding of God - in such quiet ways, while I storm... alone...”, 2 sides 8vo., Geneva, 19th October
