* Ruskin (John, 1819-1900). Autograph letter signed `J. Ruskin`, pencil date of 29 Jan 1861 at head in an unidentified hand, to Mr [William Cox] Bennett, apologising for having missed him due to a misunderstanding, thanking him for the bells poem [`Ring Happy Bells!`?], `You`ll be vexed I fear to find how prosaic and hard a person I am, when you come to try me. This picture of Burton`s for instance is of a kind I have little regard for. I entirely reject and dislike the whole school of set on foot by young men who think that fine feeling excuses bad painting. I must have my good painting first - as I must have good grammar & spelling. Burton can`t paint a vine leaf - and yet thinks he can paint a christ. There is some gift in him but the whole pack of them want to be sent to school & [?] & fed on bread & butter til they`ve got their conceit taken out of them. I am very sorry for Burton - as I am for [?] more - but it is of no use. People must learn their business before they can live by it`, 3 pp. with remains of album guard to left margin, 8vo, together with stamped and franked envelope to Bennett in Ruskin`s holograph, plus two letters signed (one autograph and one typed) from Peter Quennell as editor of `History Today` to Wilfrid Blunt concerning Ruskin, plus a photocopy of a letter to Ruskin from S. Carlyle Cockerell and a late edition of Ruskin`s `Mornings in Florence`, 1903. The identity of the recipient is made clear from the envelope giving the address as 2 The Circus, Greenwich. William Cox Bennett (1820-95) was a journalist and author. The artist Burton referred to in the letter so scathingly is almost certainly William Shakespeare Burton (1826-1916). He had only one great success with his pre-raphaelite painting `The Wounded Cavalier` which was hung next to Holman Hunt`s `The Scapegoat` at the Royal Academy in 1856. His output otherwise seems to have consisted mainly of religious pictures. (5)

W. Connolly, vertical split to lower half of leaf with archival tape repairs, presentation note by Connolly to title, Brompton Barracks, 8th September 1862, noting that the book was given to him by Captain Pasley R.E., the son of the author, eight-page autograph letter signed from Pasley Junior to Connolly tipped-in at front of book and dated 3rd December 1862, wherein Pasley explained his theory about why other copies of the book end on page 176, with an additional note by Connolly on the same subject to front free endpaper, and a further two page autograph letter from Pasley dated 8th September 1862 concerning his father and this book, orig. cloth with printed paper label to spine, spine frayed and label chipped and browned, 8vo. Kress C3813. This copy is a bibliographical curiosity, containing some 144 pages more than all other copies traced in libraries, but according to Pasley Junior`s long letter not unique: `In one of many copies which I possess of the edition in pp. 320, I have found, one a flyleaf a manuscript note in my father`s handwriting, and, from the freshness of the ink, evidently a recent date, which seems to decide the question. It is as follows: ÒNB. This book was not published in its present state, nor even finished, though very little was wanting to complete it according to the plan I had in view; because a Select Committee of the House of Commons with Lord Ebrington as Chairman was appointed for the revision of the Standards of Weights and Measures whilst the Work was in progress, which induced me to cut it short at the end of Article 294 [293] pages 176 & 177, and publish it forthwith, in hopes that it might lead to the Decimalization of our National Weights, Measures, and MoneyÓ ... I have no doubt the work as it stands is still incomplete, and that my Father intended to add to it, as well as to complete the table of Contents, and that the book, as it now is, has never been strictly speaking published, although a sufficient number of copies have been made up to meet an occasional, but not frequent, demand on the part of persons who take a special interest either in the subject or in the Author`.
