"Two thousand and sixty-two copies of this edition - of which two thousand are for sale in England and America." "In this volume we take up the third branch of work which mainly occupied Ruskin during the years 1856-1860 -- namely, the teaching of drawing. In connexion with this work he published in 1857 "The Elements of Drawing," and in 1859 "The Elements of Perspective." To those two books are added, in this volume, the revised lessons in drawing, which he entitled "The Laws of Fesole." This book belongs to a much later date (1877-1878), but is here included on account of its topical connexion with the earlier books.".
