RUSKIN, JOHN. FORS CLAVIGERA, LETTERS TO THE WORKMEN AND LABORERS OF GREAT BRITAIN. (LETTER THE SEVENTY-FIFTH THROUGH EIGHTIETH).
London Smith, Elder and Company Mar 1877-Aug 77. Six consecutive monthly letters. In wrappers as issued. Several wrappers detached, but present. Some soiling and chipping of margins. Most wrappers soiled. Internally clean. These letters were initially issues each month, starting in January, 1871, then bound in volumes, each with 12 issues for a total of 8 volumes, including 96 letters. Volume 8 was issued irregularly from 1878-1884. (See CBEL, lll, p.697).They were rather a medley of social, moral, and religious reflections interspersed with thoughts about persons, events, and art. The title of the letters is explained in Letter the Second. "Fors" means fate, force, or chance; while "Clavigera" derives from clavus, meaning club, key, or nail, and may represent power, patience, and law. So we can loosely translate as "Fortune bearing a Club". This run then comprises the total of Volume 1 and the first letter from Volume 2. John Ruskin (1819-1900) was known as an art critic and sociological writer. He was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Movement, taught Fine Arts at Oxford, lived his last years at Brantwood, Coniston, in the Lake District.
