. The life and work of John Ruskin. eights that look adown uponthe dale. The crags are lone on Coniston. If he couldonly lie down there, he said, he should get well again. He had not fully recovered before he heard that Mr.W. J. Linton, the poet and wood-engraver, wished to sell ahouse and land at the very place : ^1500, and it could behis. Without question asked he bought it at once ; andas it would be impossible to lecture at Oxford so soonafter his illness, he set off, before the middle of September, with his friends the Hilliards to visit his new possession.They found a rough-cast country cottage, old, damp, decayed ; smoky-chimneyed and rat-riddled ; but fiveacres of rock and moor and streamlet; and, he wrote, Ithink the finest view I know in Cumberland or Lancashire, with the sunset visible over the same.

And there was the furnishing;for Denmark Hill, where Mrs. Ruskin lived, was still tobe head-quarters. Mr. Ruskin gave carte-blanche to theLondon upholsterer with whom he had been accustomedto deal ; and such expensive articles were sent that when hecame down for a month next autumn, he reckoned that, all included, his country cottage had cost him not lessthan .£4000. But he was not the man to spend on himself withoutsharing his wealth with others.
