Ashmolean scrapbook

"In the compilation of the Minor Ruskiniana [in the Smart and Wise Bibliography] much help was rendered by the loan, from Mr. A. D. O. Wedderburn, of a large scrap-book filled with cuttings from newspapers, extending from 1835 to 1864. This collection had been formed by Mr. Ruskin's father (Mr. John James Ruskin), and from it many of the earliest reviews of Mr. Ruskin's works have been noted in the Bibliography" (preface, p. xxiv).
