The present electronic edition is the sum of five distinct areas: Annotations, Collations, manuscript: transcription and analysis, picture research and programming. Currently, only the third edition facsimiles provide access to the annotations and collations (this may be extended to the other facsimiles in a later release).
The present edition includes 2,500 facsimile pages from the significant editions published in Ruskin 's lifetime, a complete collation of varients (see textual notes), details about selections used in other publications, extensive information on the critical Reception of Modern Painters I, over three hundred images of works of art, and over a quarter of a million words of annotations on a wide variety of topics.
