Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of the Library and Print Room of the Ruskin Museum, Sheffield: With Notes and Extracts From the Works of Professor Ruskin In the arrangement of the catalogue, I have entirely dispensed with the more usual alphabetical method, and have adopted instead a classified order of the various subjects included, as tabulated on pages XI and XII. My motive in making this departure from the ordinary rule has been that it may be generally recognised that, whereas collections of books on widely different subjects, are usually catalogued otherwise, - either the unwieldy bulk of material which has to be dealt with, or some other purpose, as of trade, rendering the alphabetical method a more expedient, if not the only practical resource, - the present circumstances are otherwise, and of an exceptional character. The main object in the present case is the representation of the Museum Library, as a chief exponent of, and in direct relation to Mr. Ruskin´s special teaching. It is thus to be understood that the collection is purposely limited, being restricted to such works as are commended by Mr. Ruskin for their choiceness of quality, primarily in relation to the subjects that are dealt with, but equally with regard to the manner in which they are presented, and the perfection with which they are illustrated.
