There's a continuing interest in John Ruskin's writing among a segment of 
academics.  He is resurrecterd from time to time whenever a romantic view of 
man and nature and art is called for.  I once owned a nice but badly preserved 
40-some vol. set of Ruskin's writing.  Most pages were uncut.  But I did like 
his treatment of clouds, their perspectival arrangement in Turner.  Was that in 
The Stones of Venice?  I don't recall.  A somewhat recent book (1960s?), Ruskin 
Today, is missing from my bookshelf.
