MODERN PAINTERS 1843-1860 is a five-volume work by the eminent Victorian art critic John Ruskin begun when he was 24 years old based on material collected in Switzerland in 1842.1 Ruskin argues that recent painters emerging from the tradition of the picturesque are superior in the art of landscape to the old masters. The book was primarily written as a defence of the later work of J. M. W. Turner. Ruskin used the book to argue that art should devote itself to the accurate documentation of nature. In Ruskin's view Turner had developed from early detailed documentation of nature to a later more profound insight into natural forces and atmospheric effects. In this way Modern Painters reflects "Landscape and Portrait-Painting" 1829 in The Yankee by American art critic John Neal by distinguishing between "things seen by the artist" and "things as they are". Ruskin added later volumes in subsequent years. Volume two 1846 placed emphasis on symbolism in art expressed through nature. The second volume was influential on the early development of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. He produced three more volumes with the fifth and final volume appearing in 1860. The fifth volume marked the end of the formational and important part of Ruskin's life in which his father had a great influence. SCARCE as a uniform SET. Please note: Heavy volumes.

186841787Printing in gold type. The origins are Ontario Oxford County at least two of the names checked Sylvanus Nichols and Smith Stringham can be found in the attached directory. Printed in gold type the documents consists of three paragraphs beginning: "Moved by D. Matheson seconded by Mr. Pitt-- Whereas great destitution exists among a large number of the inhabitants of our Sister Province of Nova Scotia caused by the failure of the Fisheries which in previous years have afforded employment and given the only means of obtaining a livelihood to thousands of our fellow subjects in the Province who are now owing to such failure in a state of want and starvation." After the printed paragraphs are approximately 90 signatures of people who have pledged to contribute money highest $2 lowest 25 cents to the people of Nova Scotia in need. The County Council Chamber may be that of Saint John in New Brunswick. In 1868 there was a severe depression in the province caused by late spring ice on the coast a low price for fish a late planting of crops and a poor harvest. This document shows that in spite of Nova Scotia's major qualms in confederation other provinces were sympathetic nonetheless to the plight of Nova Scotians under duress and privation. In confederation the federal government was given authority over the fisheries. This led to the establishment of the Department of Marine and Fisheries and the Dominion Fisheries Act of 1868.

180829870AB1808. Oxford E Typographeo Clarendoniano 1808. Small - Octavo. 13 267 1 pages. Hardcover / Original full calf. Excellent condition with some minor signs of wear only. From the library of Daniel Conner Connerville / Manch House with his Exlibris / Bookplate falsely applied upside down to rear pastedown. This 1808-version of the Statutes of Oxford University is citing the important change of Statutes of 1610 in which it was decided between the Bodleian and the "Stationer's Company": "to provide a copy of all books printed to the Bodleian and in 1610 Bodley made an agreement with the company to put a copy of every book registered with them in the library". This resulted in the Bodleian collection growing "so fast that the building was expanded between 16101612 known as the Arts End and again in 16341637. When John Selden died in 1654 he left the Bodleian his large collection of books and manuscripts. The later addition to Duke Humfrey's Library continues to be known as the "Selden End"." Wikipedia The Bodleian Library is the main research library of the University of Oxford and is one of the oldest libraries in Europe and derives its name from its founder Sir Thomas Bodley. With over 13 million printed items it is the second-largest library in Britain after the British Library. Under the Legal Deposit Libraries Act 2003 it is one of six legal deposit libraries for works published in the United Kingdom and under Irish law it is entitled to request a copy of each book published in the Republic of Ireland. Known to Oxford scholars as "Bodley" or "the Bod" it operates principally as a reference library and in general documents may not be removed from the reading rooms. In 2000 a number of libraries within the University of Oxford were brought together for administrative purposes under the aegis of what was initially known as Oxford University Library Services OULS and since 2010 as the Bodleian Libraries of which the Bodleian Library is the largest component. All colleges of the University of Oxford have their own libraries which in a number of cases were established well before the foundation of the Bodleian and all of which remain entirely independent of the Bodleian. They do however participate in SOLO Search Oxford Libraries Online the Bodleian Libraries' online union catalogue. Much of the library's archives were digitized and put online for public access in 2015. Wikipedia hardcover

Endpapers are plain with leather erosion to the binding at the pastedowns. The textblock is "very good". Printed on laid paper pages have fairly-evenly toned but bear foxing some offsetting occasional dampstains and discoloration throughout. Some occasional marginalia is seen particularly within the front and back endpapers and presumably from the period. A number of pages have been crinkled and creased at the edges also mainly within the front and back pages. Several minor dark mold dotting at the front corners of Volume 2's first several pages amidst a dampstain along with several tears throughout. All edges show toning scratching and discoloration. Even as these editions are only in "fair" condition with many flaws the text remains completely legible and easily readable and the vintage 1800's-feel is palpable and even distinguished. <br><br>Due to the size and weight of these volumes at nearly 10 lbs. additional postage may be required.
