Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from John Ruskin, His Life and Work: Inaugural Address Delivered Before the Ruskin Society of Glasgow
T is no light task that falls upon me, as President: of this I Society, to deliver its inaugural address. I am conscious that I have before me comparatively few who come as members of the Ruskin Society, or as sympathizers with its work; and that the bulk of my audience is composed of those who hold very different opinions - from those who look upon John Ruskin merely as a brilliant writer on Art, down the varying scale, to those who come to hear something in defence of one they consider a mere enthusiast.
