Line 2, end—An insertion glyph points to a comma above the line; see Editorial and Encoding Rationale and Methodology: Deletion and Addition.

Line 3, end—An insertion glyph points to a comma above the line; see Editorial and Encoding Rationale and Methodology: Deletion and Addition.

“all reflect”—Because Ruskin wrote the r too close to the preceding word, he erased it by printing a second r with heavier strokes, as if in boldface; see Editorial and Encoding Rationale and Methodology: Deletion and Addition.

Line 5, end—Since Ruskin is so definite about placing commas at the ends of lines 2–4, he presumably does not intend the punctuation closing line 5 as a pause‐period but as a terminal period, despite the lack of an independent clause in lines 2–4; see Editorial and Encoding Rationale and Methodology: Commas, Periods, and Other Punctuation. Note the decided use of terminal periods in lines 1 and 8.

“And”—Double-letter capital; see Editorial and Encoding Rationale and Methodology: Handwriting and Special Characters

Line 12—Because Ruskin wrote the n too close to the preceding word, he erased it by printing a second n with heavier strokes, as if in boldface; see Editorial and Encoding Rationale and Methodology: Deletion and Addition.

Line 14—While the word all has the appearance of a runover, it is positioned very close above line 14, and written unusually small; and since the word makes clearer semantic sense as part of the prepositional phrase in line 14 than as part of the prepositional phrase in line 13, we interpret it as an addition to line 14.

Line 16—The extra space following it appears to function as terminal punctuation; see Editorial and Encoding Rationale and Methodology: Commas, Periods, and Other Punctuation.

Line 23—The extra space following The, along with the appearance of upon as an addition to the front of the line, suggests that Ruskin was playing with the sense of reflect in line 22 as both a transitive and intransitive verb.
