VOLUME I. Fifth Edition. ---
This edition was the first to bear the author's name, though the authorship had already been publicly avowed, for The Seven Lamps of Architecture, issued in 1849, was "by John Ruskin, author of Modern Painters." The title-page was:-
Modern Painters. | Volume I. | Containing | Parts I. and II. | Of General Principles, and of Truth. | By John Ruskin, | Author of "The Stones of Venice," "The Seven Lamps of Architecture," | etc., etc. | [ Quotation ] | Fifth Edition, Revised by the Author. | London: | Smith, Elder & Co., 65, Cornhill. | 1851.
The text was again largely revised, and a Postscript on the death of Turner was added (here, p. 631). Issued in Sept. 1851. ( Works, 3.lviii)
This edition was the most extensively revised after the Third Edition. Slight verbal alterations occur throughout, but significant alterations are made on pages 81, 124, 125, 131, 135, 240, 272, 280, 281, 291, 303, 316, 343, 344, 364, 384, 401, 405, 407, 415, and 421.
