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
Proserpina : studies of wayside flowers while the air was yet pure among the Alps and in the Scotland and England which my father Knew was a book by Ruskin originally printed in parts.
