George Darley, critic of the Athenaeum, accused Turner of having in the past painted 'with cream, chocolate, egg yolk and currant jelly', and suggested that for Snow Storm he had used 'the whole array of kitchen stuff'. Like the critics of both the Literary Gazette and Blackwood's Magazine, he singled out Peace, Burial at Sea and War, The Exile and the Rock Limpet, were described as 'provoking enigmas' (See the Literary Gazette, 14 May 1842 and Blackwood's Magazine, July 1842). Ruskin 's response to these critics, signalled by a reference to the 'sulphur and treacle criticism of our Scottish connoisseurs, and the eggs and spinage of our English ones', appeared in Chapter I of the first and second editions of Modern Painters I (see MP I, 1843:116), but was omitted from subsequent editions ( Works, 3.277).
