Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Studies: Selections From the Writings of John Ruskin The general impression about volumes of selections is, perhaps, correct, namely; - that their object is, that by one individuals careful research many individuals may be enabled to obtain a superficial knowledge of an author's writings. This volume of "Nature Studies" has been compiled with no such intention. On the contrary, its object is simply to serve as a guide to the rich harvests about "the universe of visible things which have no faculty of speech," but which are ripe for gleaning in John Ruskin's complete works. Hence the compiler's choice of extracts has been made to suggest the wealth of truth and beauty to be found, and to awaken a thirst for fuller knowledge of these treasures rather than to satisfy that thirst.
