GOLDEN RIVER OR THE BLACK BROTHERS A Legend of Stiria. BY JOHN RUSKIN, M.A. ILLUSTRATED BY RICHARD DOYLE. BOSTON: LEE AND SHEPARD, 149 WASHINGTON STREET. 1873. 21415.7.9 HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY GIFT OF JULIUS R. WAKEFIELD May 4, 1932 RIVERSIDE, CAMBRIDGE: STEREOTYPED AND PRINTED BY H. O. HOUGHTON AND COMPANY. The Engravings by KILBURN & MALLOWRY, 92 Washington Street, Boston ADVERTISEMENT. THE Publishers think it due to the Author of this Fairy Tale, to state the circumstances under which it appears. THE KING OF THE GOLDEN RIVER was written in 1841, at the request of a very young lady, and solely for her amusement, without any idea of publication. It has since remained in the possession of a friend, to whose suggestion, and the passive assent of the Author, the Publishers are indebted for the opportunity of printing it. The Illustrations, by Mr. Richard Doyle, will, it is hoped, be found to embody the Author's ideas with characteristic spirit. |
