John Ruskin's lectures on 19th-century British societal values—specifically its obsession with commercial wealth, materialism, and industrial progress at the expense of culture, education, and moral duty.

An attractive copy but with some wear. There is foxing to the green cloth boards (the vellum remains in good order). Light and infrequent foxing to the pages. The inner binding remains secure and the book is in strong readable condition.
