Summary
[Bibliographical Note.—The first of these letters appeared in the Times under the title “Mr. Ruskin on the Turner Bequest”; the second, without a heading (p. 12, col. 2).
The two letters were reprinted in Arrows of the Chace, 1880, vol. i. pp. 117–126, the title here given to the second being supplied.
In the first letter there were several slight variations in the reprint. Thus, on page 82, line 6 (as here printed), “neither” was substituted for “not”; line 11, “Rogers' poems” became “Rogers' Poems” (a mistake, for the drawings referred to include the illustrations to the Italy as well as to the volume of Poems); in line 10 (and so lower down) the numerals of the Times were printed in words; line 21, a misprint is corrected in this edition; line 27, “composition” and “outline” were misread for “compositions” and “outlines.”]
THE TURNER BEQUEST
To the Editor of the “Times”
[1856]
Sir,—As active measures are being now taken to give the public access to the pictures and drawings left by the late Mr. Turner, you will perhaps allow me space in your columns for a few words respecting them.
