References to St Mark’s in a preliminary draft for an index to M at StM.10

At St M[arks] Book p.10, as part of a first draft for an index to M, Ruskin organises his observations of St. Mark’s. This draft refers only to notes in M. It was struck through by Ruskin, presumably as he copied it to the index at Notebook M p.222. The references to St. Mark’s in the index at M.p222 are largely unchanged from this preliminary version.

Ruskin’s text is given in bold, with links and comments following.
