John Ruskin : The Elements of Drawing
Letter B 14 - Postmark 6/12/1857 - "I can't answer at length till Monday. But you are quite right about the graver want of the book. [The Elements of Drawing, which had been published in June]. The appalling character of it is only to young ladies who think of drawing as mere recreation - assuredly no more work is asked than about half what they give to piano."

John Ruskin : Notes on the Construction of Sheepfolds
Letter B 71 - 3/9/1860 - "I have now your interesting letter about the Sheep-folds. I think you are right about the title, but I do not care about re-publishing the thing just now. We are on the eve of disturbances in the church which will supersede all such discussions by a general crash, out of which common sense will recover without getting its head broken."
