FOOTNOTES:

[A]The proper titles of these lectures, too long for page-headings, are given in the Contents.

[B]Educational Series, No. 8, E.

[C]If the English reader will pronounce the o in this word as in fold, and in sophia as in sop, but accenting the o, not the i, I need not any more disturb my pages with Greek types.

[D]“Pall Mall Gazette,” January 29th, 1869.

[E] I use this word always meaning it to be understood literally, and in its full force.

[F] Rubens’ rainbow, in the Loan Exhibition this year, was of dull blue, darker than the sky, in a scene lighted from the side of the rainbow. Rubens is not to be blamed for ignorance of optics, but for never having so much as looked at a rainbow carefully: and I do not believe that my friend Mr. Alfred Hunt, whose study of rainbow, in the rooms of the Water Colour Society last year, was unrivalled, for vividness and truth, by any I know, learned how to paint it by studying optics.

[G]I have not seen the picture: in the engraving the tint of the eyes would properly represent grey or blue.

[H]Note this sentence respecting the power of the creative Athena.

[I]Conversations on War and General Culture.

[J]Now, Ref. 104.

[K]“Another stride that has been taken appears in the perishing of heraldry. Whilst the privileges of nobility are passing to the middle class, the badge is discredited, and the titles of lordship are getting musty and cumbersome. I wonder that sensible men have not been already impatient of them. They belong, with wigs, powder, and scarlet coats, to an earlier age, and may be advantageously consigned, with paint and tattoo, to the dignitaries of Australia and Polynesia.”—R.W. Emerson (English Traits).

[L]Charges which “doe peculiarly belong to this art, and are of ordinary use therein, in regard whereof they are called ‘ordinaries.’”—See Guillim, sect. ii. chap. iii. (Ed. 1638.)

Transcriber’s Note

The punctuation in the index was inconsistent. Usage of ‘,’ and ‘.’ has been regularized, with final stops after each entry supplied where missing.

The index also has several errors of alphabetizing, with “pi” entries and “Pæstum” following “pl” entries. The printed order has been retained.

As noted by Ruskin in the text, the index refers to the numbered paragraphs, not page numbers.

Printer’s errors and omissions have been silently corrected.

Any variants of spelling are preserved except as noted below, as well as several variable uses of the hyphen in compound words.

p. 78“h[ie/ei]ght”Corrected.
p. 269“Bee, wisdom of, 193[–]196”.Added, as the Bee is the subject across those paragraphs.
p. 287“Oxford ... its teaching, ancient idea of, [121]”Added, based on the inspection of the text.

In the Index, references to the Preface are incorrect, being misnumbered, generally, by two pages (e.g. p. viii = p. vi). While the index rendered here retains the errors, the links will take one to the proper page.
