issues. The fourth ed. of vol. ii. was issued in July 1890; title-page follows that of (b) above; 2000 copies printed. Price as before.

Later Editions.-There have been six reprintings of both volumes; in 1892, 1894, 1896, 1897, 1900 (called “Nineteenth Thousand”), and 1902 (“Twentieth Thousand”). In all these editions (Fifth of 1892 to the Twentieth Thousand), the Index described below was given at the end of vol. ii. Otherwise there was no change.

The text of the “Travellers’ Edition” has remained unchanged in all the editions of it, except for the errata noticed above, and for one or two other trifling alterations in the added notes. The edition was never revised by Ruskin himself.

For separate editions of portions of vol. ii. and of vol. iii. of the complete work respectively, see Bibliographical Notes in those volumes.

INDEX TO “THE STONES OF VENICE”

The title-page of this index (compiled by A. Wedderburn) was as follows.-

Index | Ruskin | Stones of Venice | General Index. | 1886.

Imperial 8vo, pp. iv.+135. Issued in cream-coloured paper boards, in two forms corresponding to the ordinary and to the special issues of the fourth edition of The Stones of Venice; 2000 copies at 5s.; and 220 at 10s. This index was incorporated in the complete work in 1893 (and in some copies of the ed. of 1886), in the small complete edition, and also, so far as applicable, in the later issues of the “Travellers’ Edition.” It is not here reprinted, but its contents are merged in the General Index to the whole edition.
