Extractions: I first learned of this valuable health-aid about 25 years ago when a friend recommended that I read a small book written by an American veterinary surgeon. The common sense and logic of his argument (that the human system needs to be slightly acid in order to ward off minor ailments) appealed to me and I began taking the daily cider vinegar. My wife joined me in the experiment. Previously we had caught about 3 or 4 colds every year, each taking up to a week to pass off but in the meantime infecting others in the family. The Cider Vinegar quickly adjusted the acid/alkaline levels of our systems and colds became a thing of the past . I have been free of colds and sore throats ever since. My wife did catch just a couple of colds during that time but we still feel that the daily dose of CV was a most beneficial addition to our diet.

Lakestay - Ruskin Infatuation With Girls
An alternative Ruskin biography from Lakestay, with emphasis on his enthusiasm for young girls, in particular Effie Gray and Rose La Touche.
http://www.lakestay.co.uk/ruskin.htm

Extractions: More about the English Lakes John Ruskin would have given today's tabloid press and paparazzi plenty of interest. After a sheltered and oppressive upbringing he married a younger cousin , Effie Gray and for six years they maintained a marriage that was in one vital sense a sham. For the marriage was never consummated. This sham remained the case until in 1854 they were joined in a Highland jaunt by the young, handsome and gifted painter Millais. Millais soon fell in love with Effie and she found escape from her marriage in a notorious court action in a suit for nullity. Subsequently biographers of Ruskin chronicle his repeated infatuation with very young girls, especially that of Rose La Touche. When they first met, Rose La Touche was a mere ten years old and Ruskin 40. Biographer Quentin Bell has this to say: "He lived on terms of sentimental intimacy with an entire girls' school and the modern readers knows not whether to blush or snigger at the romps and oglings, toyings and teasings which were conducted with perfect candour under the benevolent eye of the headmistress at Winnington." Rose was his "Rosie, pet and Rosie puss'' and he was her "St Crumpet" The strange under-currents were visible in 1859 when in his criticism of Millais' painting of Spring, Ruskin says it gives him the impression of "a field of penance for young ladies, where girl blossoms, who had been vainly gay, or treacherously amiable, were condemned to recline in reprobation, under red hot apple blossom and sip scalding milk out of a poisoned porringer."

Ruskin On Turner
A brief biography of the work of Ruskin, plus some extracts from The Works of Ruskin , ed. Cook/Wedderburn, of essays by Ruskin on JW Turner.
http://art-bin.com/art/oruskincontents.html

Extractions: John Ruskin (1819-1900) WHAT WAS IT in William Turner's art that so immensely captured John Ruskin that he almost devoted his life to the advocacy of it? Maybe he saw some of his own transformed desires in the works of the great master of light, surf and rock. I deliberately avoid the modern term sublimation, since this mental state neither was modern nor sublime, but heavy as the stones of Venice he also chose to write about and life surely taught Ruskin lessons as harsh as those ethics of the dust he lectured the young girls at Winnington school about. In 1848 Ruskin married Effie Gray, who later left him for one of the Pre-Raphaelites, John Everett Millais. Nevertheless, Ruskin wrote a book in defense of this artistic movement, "Pre-Raphaelitism" (1851). Apart from "Modern Painters", his most famous works are "The Seven Lamps of Architecture" (1849) and "The Stones of Venice" (three volumes 1851-53). Ruskin detested industrialism and also wrote several essays about social reform that were later collected in "Unto This Last" (1862).

Illustrated essay on the major exhibition, held during 2000, at the Tate Gallery in London, on John Ruskin, JMW Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites.
http://www.thecityreview.com/ruskin.html

Extractions: RUSKIN, TURNER AND THE PRE-RAPHAELITES Tate Britain March 9 to May 28, 2000 Portrait of the Critic as a Young Artist "John Ruskin" by Sir John Everett Millais, oil on canvas, 78.7 by 68 centimeters, private collection By Michele Leight Connoisseurs and artists are different, usually. The former take delight in the work of others and the latter take delight in their own work, generally. Most people would prefer to be known as an artist rather than merely as a connoisseur, but without connoisseurs most artists would be lost. John Ruskin, the world’s foremost art critic in the mid- and late-19th Century, was a connoisseur and an artist. Although best known for his controversial libel trial with Whistler and for his promotion of the work of Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites, Ruskin was a very influential writer on architecture whose advocacy of preservation and public exposure to the arts and "adult education" were highly important. In the current age of multi-culturalism and "political correctness," Ruskin’s "elitist" views might still seem controversial to some, but his fervor and oeuvre, both literary and artistic, is in no way diminished. While his contributions to English heritage are magnificent and very impressive, his life’s interests, goals, and achievements are of exceeding interest to everyone in love with art, architecture, and the notion of beauty. Moreover, his is a fascinating story of how even the most brilliant observers can have blind spots and how even powerful and influential men can have strange love lifes.

John Ruskin (1819-1900)
Notes by Bob Speel on the life of the Victorian thinker John Ruskin, with particular emphasis on his influence on the Pre-Raphaelite painters.
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/speel/otherart/ruskin.htm

Extractions: John Ruskin John Ruskin, the greatest Victorian bar Victoria, was an artist, scientist, poet, environmentalist, philosopher, and, importantly here, the pre-eminent art critic of his time. He provided the impetus that gained respectability for the Pre-Raphaelites . Ruskin's letter to The Times in 1851, supporting the much-derided Pre-Raphaelites for their naturalism and truth to nature, marked a turning point in their perception by the public. In a second letter, he wrote that the Pre-Raphaelites might "lay the foundation of a school of art nobler than the world has seen for 300 years." When, after this, Ruskin met the Pre-Raphaelites, he encouraged them in their ideals, acting as tutor, mentor, and generous supporter to Rossetti Millais and Holman Hunt , as well as later artists in a similar spirit such as John Brett and John William Inchbold . He was a long-time friend of the children's illustrator Kate Greenaway , and also of the bird-painter H. S. Marks Ruskin taught Pre-Raphaelite style drawing at the Working Men's College in London for some years, enlisting Rossetti to teach figure and watercolour painting, and afterwards Ford Madox Brown to fill the same position. Afterwards, he left London, becoming Slade Professor of Art at Oxford (where there is an art college named after him) and then removing to the Lake District where he helped to start the Environmental Movement.

http://danassays.wordpress.com/encyclopedia-of-the-essay/ruskin-john/

Extractions: John Ruskin was a prolific essayist who, like his intellectual and stylistic mentor Thomas Carlyle, railed against many of the advances of modern society. Many of his major works were epistolary or delivered as lectures, making generic classification problematic; nevertheless, the wide range of Ruskin’s interests may be viewed as a series of interrelated essays. As an art critic and social economist Ruskin defined the relationship between art and society and between the worker and society in novel ways, influencing figures as diverse as Proust and Gandhi. In a rapidly changing world, in which workers were becoming alienated from the works they produced and science was competing with art and literature as a source of knowledge and spiritual sustenance, Ruskin championed art as both ethical teacher and moral yardstick against which society could be measured. The publication of volume one of Modern Painters in 1843 launched Ruskin’s career as “sage” and intellectual guide for his era. Expanding on ideas espoused in uninspired essays written while Ruskin was a student at Oxford, Modern Painters began as a defense of Turner’s landscape painting against the charge that it was untrue to nature. The five volumes of Modern Painters (1843–60) became an ambitious series of essays on the social context in which art is produced and which in turn mirrors the society that produces it. Art, therefore, appeals to the intellect as well as to the aesthetic sensibility. In accordance with his lofty aims, Ruskin employs a formal and literary prose in the first three volumes of Modern Painters. He is a master at exemplifying major points through succinct examples. In illustrating the connection between art’s power to evoke great thought, as well as its capacity to give aesthetic pleasure, Ruskin states in volume three:
