Excerpt from Cameos From Ruskin
The preparation of this book was begun with the purpose of making each selection a representation of Mr. Ruskin"s two-fold work: as the greatest of art critics and as a master of ethics. This purpose has not been strictly adhered to, but the drift of the book, as a whole, and of most of the selections, will be found to bear directly on the fundamental principle of all Mr. Ruskin"s criticism - that art is inseparably connected with character and conduct, or morality, and that all great art rests upon a basis of what is intrinsically good.
The book will have accomplished its mission if it leads any of its readers, especially young readers who are seriously interested in art, to long for and seek all of the art-wisdom Mr. Ruskin offers them, in each and all of his wonderful books.
