Excerpt from Sesame and Lilies; Unto This Last; The Queen of the Air; The Storm Cloud of the Nineteenth Century IF it be true that Literature is a criticism of life, then the writings of John Ruskin deserve to rank high. The papers included in this volume are characteristic expressions of Mr. Ruskin's views on social questions and ethics as applied to all life. His searching examination of conduct and the motives that control the average man in private and public life tend to awaken dissatisfaction with low ideals, and to elevate the standards of personal and social virtue.
