CHAPTER XII. ROSLYN CHAPEL. 238. I MUST yet return, before closing the broken record of these first twenty years, to one or two scattered days in 1836, when things happened which led forward into phases of work to be given account of in next volume. I cannot find the date of my father's buying his first Copley Fielding, --' Between King's House and Inveroran, Argyllshire.' It cost a tremendous sum, for us--forty-seven guineas; and the day it came home was a festa, and many a day after, in looking at it, and fancying the hills and the rain were real. My father and I were in absolute sympathy about Copley Fielding, and I could find it in my heart now to wish I had lived at the Land's End, and never seen any art but Prout's and his.

There was, of course, no nuestion by what master they should be given; I know not...
About the Author :
John Ruskin has contributed to Praeterita (Volume 1) ; Outlines of Scenes and Thoughts Perhaps Worthy of Memory in My Past Life as an author.
From his early youth John Ruskin drew obsessively, a discipline that he not only kept up right through the production of his great literary works, but which was essential to them. This book is the result of quite considerable teaching experience.
