The Ruskin Birthday Book is a collection of daily thoughts, mottoes, and aphorisms selected by the renowned English art critic, writer, and social thinker, John Ruskin.

The selection of quotes covers a wide range of topics, including art, literature, nature, morality, and spirituality, and is intended to inspire and guide the reader throughout the year. The book is a testament to Ruskin's intellectual and philosophical depth, and provides a unique insight into the mind of one of the most influential thinkers of the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
