ART-TEACHING BY CORRESPONDENCE
ОглавлениеDear Mr. Williams:32 I like your plan of teaching by letter exceedingly: and not only so, but have myself adopted it largely, with the help of an intelligent under-master, whose operations, however, so far from interfering with, you will much facilitate, if you can bring this literary way of teaching into more accepted practice. I wish we had more drawing-masters who were able to give instruction definite enough to be expressed in writing: many can teach nothing but a few tricks of the brush, and have nothing to write, because nothing to tell.
With every wish for your success,—a wish which I make quite as much in your pupils’ interest as in your own,—
Believe me, always faithfully yours,
J. Ruskin.
Denmark Hill, November, 1860.

This letter was, it appears, originally addressed to an artist, Mr. Williams (of Southampton), and was then printed, some years later, in the number of Nature and Art above referred to.
