Excerpt from Fors Clavigera, Vol. 2: Letters to the Workmen and Labourers of Great Britain; Containing Letters XXV-XLVIII Among the letters just received by me, as I told you, is one from a working man of considerable experience, which laments that, in his part of the country, literary institutes are a failure. Indeed, your literary institutes must everywhere fail, as long as you think that merely to buy a book, and to know your letters, will enable you to read the book. Not one Word of any book is readable by you except so far as your mind is one with its author's, and not merely his words like your words, but his thoughts like your thoughts.

Excerpt from Fors Clavigera, Vol. 2: Letters to the Workmen and Labourers of Great Britain On the thirteenth shelf of the south bookcase of my home-library, stand, first, Kenelm Digby's Broad Stone of Honour, then, in five volumes, bound in red, the "history of the ingenious gentleman, Don Quixote of La Mancha;" and then, in one volume, bound in green, a story no less pathetic, called the Mirror of Peasants. Its author does not mean the word "mirror" to be understood in the sense in which one would call Don Quixote the "Mirror of Chivalry;" but in that of a glass in which a man - beholding his natural heart, may know also the hearts of other men, as, in a glass, face answers to face. The author of this story was a clergyman; but employed the greater part of his day in writing novels, having a gift for that species of composition as well as for sermons, and observing, though he gave both excellent in their kind, that his congregation liked their sermons to be short, and his readers, their novels to be long. Among them, however, were also many tiny novelettes, of which, young ladies, I to-day begin translating for you one of the shortest; hoping that you will not think the worse of it for being written by a clergyman.

Excerpt from Fors Clavigera, Vol. 2: Letters to the Workmen and Labourers of Great Britain; Containing Letters 37-72, 1874, 1875, 1876 Several Of the earlier Letters in this volume are written, it will be seen, from Italy, where Ruskin spent several months in 1874. The in uence of his sojourn at Assisi was particularly marked, both in causing some revision of his estimate of Italian art, and in quickening his spiritual life. These impressions are noted by him in Fors,1 and have been discussed in an earlier Introduction.2 The sketch of the Sacristan's Cell at Assisi, introduced into the present volume (plate II.)
