liv BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Fourth Edition (1883).-This is an exact reprint of the 1880 edition, except that (1) “Fourth Edition” is substituted for “New Edition” on the title-page, and that the date is altered; (2) the errata noticed above are corrected, and (3) the “Advice” becomes a “Note,” inserted immediately after the title-page. Issued in green cloth with white-paper label which reads: “The | Seven Lamps | of | Architecture | By | John Ruskin | 1883.” Published in July 1883 at One Guinea.

Fifth Edition (1886).-Again an exact reprint except for the substitution of “Fifth Edition” on the title-page and the alteration of date. Issued in brown cloth, lettered on the back in gilt “Ruskin | The Seven Lamps | of | Architecture | 1886.” Published in July 1886 at One Guinea. Reprinted in November 1889 (Sixth Edition). Price reduced in July 1900 to 15s.

Small Edition (1890).-The title-page of this edition was as follows:-

The Seven Lamps | of | Architecture. | By | John Ruskin, LL. D., | Honorary Student of Christ Church, and Honorary Fellow | Of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, etc., etc. | With Illustrations drawn by the Author. | George Allen, | Sunnyside, Orpington, | and | 8 Bell Yard, Temple Bar, London. | 1890. | [All rights reserved.]

Crown 8vo, pp. xxii. +401. The text is again a reprint of the 1880 edition. The frontispiece was printed from an electrotype specially prepared for this edition. The other plates were reproduced, on a smaller scale, in photogravure by Messrs. Goupil & Co., worked upon (in nearly all cases) by Mr. George Allen. Issued in the usual cloth boards, lettered across the back “Ruskin | The | Seven Lamps | of | Architecture | George Allen.” The title of the book was placed on the middle of the back instead of at the top, so that this edition does not range exactly (as re-issues of it did) with the corresponding “small editions” of the other works. Published on April 3, 1890, at the price of 7s. 6d. 3000 copies were printed; also 400 copies on Whatman’s hand-made paper (large post 8vo), with the plates on India paper, at 15s.

Re-issues of the small edition have been published as follows:-3000 (Sept. 1890), 5000 (May 1891), 3000 (1894), 2000 (1895), 2000 (1897), 2000 (1898), 2000 (1899), 2000 (1900), 2000 (1901), 2000 (1903): (“Thirty-third thousand” on title-page.)
