About this book
Signed with the pen name Kata Phusin, meaning according to nature, these essays by John Ruskin first appeared in Loudon's Architectural Magazine from November 1837, when he was eighteen. Part I looks at cottages in lowland England and France, in Italy, and in the mountains of Switzerland and Westmoreland, with a chapter on chimneys. Part II turns to villas, from Lago di Como to the Italian villa generally and then England, including principles of composition. Plates reproduce his own early sketches.
