Fors, however, begins differently: see Vol. XXVIII. pp. 317-318; and the note at line 7 was added in Præterita; page 41, lines 1 and 2, Fors has “the chapters above enumerated (Letter 42)” for “the chapters thus gradually possessed from the first word to the last”; the last lines of § 46 are different in Fors (see Vol. XXVIII. p. 319), Ruskin removing from Præterita the note of controversial scorn characteristic of Fors.

§ 47 = Fors, Letter 33, § 13 (in part).

Line 4, Fors has “... to learn all the Scotch paraphrases by heart, and ever so many chapters of the Bible besides”; line 16, Fors has “on reciting it, ‘The ashes of the urn’”; line 19, “my mother got the accent laid upon the ashes, to her mind”; the last lines are, again, different in Fors: see Vol. XXVII. p. 617.

§ 70, line 1, Fors is different, owing to particular allusions there (see Vol. XXVIII. p. 547); line 3, Fors has “I have it not” for “I have no such habit,” and then some lines omitted in Præterita.

§ 70 (line 14 to end) = Fors, Letter 63, §§ 13, 14 (in part): see Vol. XXVIII. pp. 548-549, for the variations, which are not so much revisions as fittings together.
