Book Description
Excerpt from Notes on the Construction of Sheepfolds Many persons will probably find fault with me for publishing Opinions which are not new: but I shall bear this blame content edly, believing that Opinions on this subject could hardly be just if they were not 1800 years old. Others will blame me for making proposals which are altogether new; to whom I would answer, that things in these days seem not so far right but that they may be mended. And others will simply call the Opinions false and the proposals foolish - to whose good will, if they take it in hand to contradict me, I must leave what I have written - having no purpose of being drawn, at present, into religious controversy. If, however, any should admit the truth, but regret the tone of what I have said, I can only pray them to consider how much less harm is done in the world by ungraceful boldness, than by untimely Fear.

Book Description
Excerpt from Time Tide: Notes on the Construction of Sheepfolds; Lecture to the Cambridge School of Art &C The letter that Ruskin wrote to Thomas Dixon in the early spring of 1867, greatly dissatisfied, critical, disintegrative even, as they may appear in parts of them, are really yet another attempt, one of many that he made, to create a new heaven and a new earth. In Modern Painters he had tried to show how the forms and the divine loveliness of nature, the mountains and the waters, might be brought to that same service through art and its inspiration. But time went on, and he lost his superb faith and innocence in viewing the change that the industrial Terror, as it seemed to him, and the greed for wealth threatened to work in his beloved England. At length, his youth having gone for ever, and his earlier hope passing with it, he turned to the writing of books which, like Unto this Last, went to the very base of the structure, leaving the towers and pinnacles for awhile to look after themselves. However, the critical and the creative impulses in Ruskin worked by an inevitable process of reaction. In his Crown of Wild Olive, the preface, it will be remembered, opens with a wonderful picture of the beauty of England and its lowland scenery near Carshalton; a picture which is no sooner finished than it is dashed with a dreadful brushful of black slime - emblem of the desecration of such fair scenes by the callous hand of man. Later, in this book of the Wild Olive - "type of grey honour and sweet rest," which still held up the vision of the land of promise where men might live sustained by the blue sky above and the sweet waters and flowers of the earth beneath - there came some of the most eloquently prophetic pages ever written by Ruskin. They occur in the lay sermon he delivered in Yorkshire, at Bradford, on the text of "Traffick," and "Good Taste the only Morality."

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer. Was the light infallible? Was the claim to it an assumption of spiritual exaltation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
