Excerpt from The Religion of Ruskin, the Life and Works of John Ruskin: A Biographical and Anthological Study
In preparing Books II to VI of this Authology the writings of Ruskin have first been arranged, as far as seemed practicable, into groups of subjects - then quoted in the chronological order of the works in each group. The reader may thus find the progress of the great Author"s religious mind in his own words.
All Ruskin"s larger works were arranged by himself, or under his direction, into volumes, parts, sections, chapters and paragraphs, to which are often attached lengthy prefaces and appendices.
The method adopted in the following selections is to give the name and number of the volume at the head of the chapter, letting the Author"s own paragraph number stand at the beginning of each quotation, and giving the further references at the end.
Thus on page 105 of this volume will be found paragraphs on "Sensuality Fatal to Beauty in Art" The numbers 21 and 24 are those of Ruskin"s own paragraphing and this, with Pt. Ill, Sec. 1, Ch. 14, puts the reader in possession of the full reference, viz.: Modern Painters, Vol. II, Part III, Section 1,Chapter 14, Paragraphs 21, 24.
In some instances, where the quotations are continuous, the references to the chapters, etc., are only given at the end of several, but the numbers of the paragraphs are always given. This is especially notable of Vol. IV, Modem Painters.
In still other instances no reference is needed other than the number of the paragraph of the work from which it is taken.
It must be understood that the topical headlines are our own and not Ruskin"s.
