Ruskin on St Mark's Restoration Views and Health
The article reports on John Ruskin’s newly published pamphlet detailing his views on the planned St Mark's restoration in Venice. He explains illness two years ago tied to public affairs and outlines his aim to document and preserve the cathedral’s architecture and sculptures. It notes his desire for able draughtsmen, records, and a dedicated museum for casts and drawings in Sheffield. It ends with a brief item about Miami Indians seeking U.S. citizenship and land allotment, naming four leaders.
