“lamps” (MS VIII)—It appears that Ruskin first wrote “lamp light” and then, having deleted “light”, formed “lamp” into “lamps”.

“withe” (MS IX)—The stroke following the h is not a flourish but a misspelling.

“agains” (MS IX)—Ruskin dropped the missing t while observing justification of the right margin.

Justification mark (MS IX)—See Editorial and Encoding Rationale and Methodology: Element, Attribute, and Value Usage—Justification, Runover, and Word Division.

Pause–period (MS IX)—See Editorial and Encoding Rationale and Methodology: Element, Attribute, and Value Usage—Commas, Periods, and Other Punctuation.

“which which” (MS IX)—The repetition is not present in the MS VIII draft; and in the fair copy, it is clearly an end–of–line dittographic error.

Blank space on page for possible drawing (MS IX)—While it is impossible to prove intention about a space left on a page following the end of a piece of writing, the vertical column at the bottom of this page, which measures approximately seven lines of Ruskinʼs cursive copperplate script, certainly tempted him to insert drawings in other such available spaces in MS IX. Either he never produced such a drawing, however; or he did produce it, but it has been removed or lost.
