The poems collected in the following pages have been printed from the original published Oopies, great care having been'taken to follow the author's text, with the ex ception of certain needed changes in the orthography.

It must be remembe ed that all of Ruskin's verse-making was confined to his youthfulidays, and was for the most part dated from Christ Church, Oxford, over the initials J. R. The first poem, Saltzburg, was written in the author's sixteenth year, the last The Glacier but eleven years later. The Broken Chain was appropriately pub lished at intervals - the first two parts appearing in 1840, the third in 1841, the fourth in 1842, and the fifth and last part in the year following.
