Ethics of the Dust : Essays and Belles Lettres

Dent & Sons, 1923. . , H, Front cover is separating from front joint but still in tact with spine, usual wear and library profanations, "It is characteristic of Ruskin that he should choose to lock up so much depth and beauty of thought in a series of playful lectures to young girls. In this little book,...we may catch many a glimpse of the ancient Sophia, or heavenly wisdom, going robed,...in all the gorgeous colours in which the jewels of the rock are dyed. ...A modern Socrates, with maidens for disciples, he debates in a playful freedom the sermons that the wise may find in stones.", No. 282 of the ubiquitous Everyman's Library series, 200 pages.; .
