with a single exception from drawings by the author, although lacking in most of the qualities of good draughtsmanship, are well worth examination and study.  Plates II. and V., “A Fountain at Verona,” and “The Castelbarco Tomb, Sta.  Anastasia, Verona,” the first made in 1841 and the second in 1835, are from the point of view of the architect the most interesting.  They are both pencil sketches, the first accented with a few touches of wash in the shadows and darker portions of the drawing.  Plate IX. represents the angle of the Ducal Palace, Venice, the same given as the frontispiece in the last issue of the Brochure series.  It would hardly be possible to come nearer the same point of view if the coincidence were intentional.  In the comparison which this forces upon Mr. Ruskin very naturally suffers, as might be expected, from the fact that his training in drawing was not the most thorough.  His proportions are somewhat faulty and the detail is only vaguely suggested, in fact this is more or less true of all his drawings.  Nevertheless the book will be welcome to many architects for the valuable suggestions it contains both in text and illustrations; and the author’s wonderful and fascinating literary style is here as unmistakably in evidence as in any of his older works.  This alone is sufficient inducement to tempt the reader to take it up.
