[Bibliographical Note.-This monograph was written in 1872 for the Arundel Society, and published with the following title-page on the front cover:-

The | Sepulchral Monuments of Italy | Monuments | of the | Cavalli Family | in the Church of Santa Anastasia, Verona | by | John Ruskin, Esq. | Honorary Student of Christ Church, Oxford; Slade Professor of Fine Arts | with a | Chromo-lithograph after a Drawing by Herr Gnauth| Arundel Society: London 1872.

Double crown folio; pp. ii.+6. Half-title (“Monuments of the Cavalli Family”), pp. i., ii. (with imprint-“London: Vinton & Son, Printers, 30 Hampstead Road, N.W.”-on the reverse). Chromo-lithograph of the “Monuments of the Cavalli Family” facing p. ii.; it is signed “A. Gnauth del., Storch and kramer, Berlin. Chromol.” Text, pp. 1-6. No headlines, the pages being numbered centrally.

Issued in blue paper wrappers, backed with red cloth. The price was 24s. to members of the Arundel Society, and 30s. to non-members.

The text was reprinted in On the Old Road, 1885, vol. i. pp. 643-653 (§§ 508-521); and again in the second edition of that work, 1890, vol. ii. pp. 265-278 (§§ 217-230). In the original monograph the text was not thus numbered in sections. In this volume the sections are numbered independently.

In both editions of On the Old Road there were misprints, and among them one at the outset which obscured the author’s sense. Instead of “this church contains nothing which deserves extraordinary praise,” On the Old Road reads “this church deserves nothing but extraordinary praise.”

Again, in § 1, lines 11 and 15, both editions of On the Old Road misprinted “font” for “front.” In § 3, line 17, the monograph misprinted “Sinai” for “Siena,” and this misprint is repeated in both editions of On the Old Road. In § 3, line 12, both editions of On the Old Road misprint “uninterrupted” for “interrupted”; in § 7, line 13, “or” for “as”; in § 9, line 10, “attributable” for “attributed;” and in § 12 (line 2 of p. 136), “gentleman” for “gentlemen.”]
