MS IV
	W. G. Collingwood assigned roman numeral IV to this Red Book in his “Preliminary Note on the Original MSS. of the Poems” for Poems (1891) (Poems [4o, 1891], 1:262; Poems [8o, 1891], 1:263).
	Two decades earlier, Ruskin himself had set the precedent for numbering the Red Books, including this one: at bottom of the title page for “Eudosia,” he wrote “Red book No. 1. Sept 8th 1870” (see “Eudosia”: Title). On the same day, he docketed MS III as “Red book No. 2,” and MS I as “Red book No. 3.” For the meaning of this numbering, see Red Books.
	Apart from these numerical designations, Ruskin’s title—intended originally, it appears, both for MS IV in its entirety as well as for its main work—is “EUDOSIA OR / A POEM / ON THE / UNIVERSE / BY JOHN RUSKIN / VOL I / These are thy glorious works parent of good / Almighty thine this universal frame / Thus wondros fair MILTON / BOTANY / HERN HILL / DULWICH.”
