Textual Notes
	Ruskin Family Letters prints the MS IA version, and is generally faithful to it; however, to clarify syntax, Burd represents full stops by extra spaces that do not always appear in manuscript. In respect of extra spacing, only lines 17 and 20 in Ruskin Family Letters are accurate, while other lines showing extra space take liberties with Ruskin’s more enjambed text in MS IA.
	Several minor variants are found between the MS IA and MS III versions. In general, in MS III, as compared with MS IA, Ruskin capitalized the initial letter of each line, and omitted punctuation in lines 11, 12, 23, 28. Other variants:
