BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE liii

This Advice is here reprinted on p. 17. It was succeeded by the following list of Errata:-

The reader is requested to note, and correct at once, the following errata:-

P. 5. Last line but one of note; for “in force” read “if forced.”

P. 55. Note 19. Of course I did not get the intended preface written.

P. 89. Last line but one of note; “or St. Francis” has got slipped into the upper line by mistake-it should come after “George Herbert.”

P. 94. Last line but one of the 33rd note. Insert “traceries” after “stupidest.”

P. 119. The 43rd note should have referred to the 41st and 44th.

P. 144. In note 50, for “or blue” read “on blue.”

This edition contained 55 new notes by the author, printed beneath the text, here distinguished by the date “[1880].” The notes in eds. 1 and 2 were cancelled, except Nos. 4 and 5, which were given in Appendix II.; No. 7, reprinted with alterations as Appendix III.; No. 11, which was given as Appendix IV.; and No. 17, reprinted with additions as Appendix V. (For the arrangement of the notes in the present volume, see below¹). Appendix I. in ed. 3 was a reprint of a portion of the Preface to ed. 2 (see below, pp. 7-8 nn.). The plates used in ed. 2 were again employed in ed. 3. The new edition of 1880 was issued in “mottled grey” boards, with the title-page reproduced on the front cover, and a white-paper label on the back which reads: “The | Seven Lamps | of | Architecture | By | John Ruskin | 1880.” Some copies are, however, bound in green cloth, lettered on the back in gilt “Ruskin | The | Seven Lamps | of | Architecture | 1880.” Printed on Whatman’s hand-made paper. Published in May 1880 at the price of Two Guineas (also 75 Large Paper Copies, half-atlas quarto, at four guineas).

¹ The following list shows the placing of the notes in successive editions. Eds. 1 and 2 had 17 notes at the end of the text, which were afterwards thus placed (the term “third edition” applies equally, it will be understood, to all subsequent editions until the present one):-
