What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding, Signed Binding
A delightful edition of this work, in a signed Riviere half vellum binding.
First published in 1865, this collection of three lectures from Victorian era writer, philosopher, art critic and polymath John Ruskin are essentially concerned with education and ideal conduct.
Delivered in December 1864 at the town halls at Rusholme and Manchester, the lectures featured are titled 'Of Kings' Treasuries', 'Of Queens' Gardens' and 'The Mystery of Life and its Arts'.
This book proved to be one of Ruskin's most popular, and was regularly awarded as a Sunday School prize.
