"...life being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books; and that valuable books should, in a civilized country, be within the reach of every one, printed in excellent form, for a just price..." This volume contains three lectures by John Ruskin, and his preface to the later editions.
